Ingredients

The following are the ingredients needed to prepare around 10 - 15 pieces of kadalai mittai,

Peanuts - 1 cup
Jaggery - 3/4 cup
Water - a few tablespoons used while melting jaggery
Cardamom powder - 1-2 pinch
Ghee - as required for greasing.

Preparation Steps

Dry roast the peanuts in a pan at a low flame. Do not over roast. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a bowl after peeling the skin off and keep it aside.
Add jaggery to a pan and a little water and melt it completely.
Clean the melted jaggery using a filter and add it to a fresh pan.
Cook the jaggery in a low to medium flame until it thickens.
You need to get a consistency where it is thick enough for a candy. Be very cautious and don't let it turn dark as it can spoil the taste.
To test the consistency, take some water in a small bowl and drop a few drops of jaggery in it.
If it turns into a glass like structure which is breakable then it is perfect.
At this stage add the roasted peanuts and cardamom powder. Give it a mix. You can switch off the flame in one or two minutes after adding peanuts.
Once it has mixed well transfer the contents to a square shaped container that is greased with ghee.
Use a greased spoon too while filling and pressing it inside.
Soon the contents get the shape of the container. You can flip it on a plate and remove the big bar of peanuts and jaggery.
Using a greased knife cut it into small pieces. This can be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed for over a month.

Kadalai Mittai Recipe Preparation Steps

Kadalai Mittai, a traditional Tamil sweet, is cherished for its unique flavor and chewy texture. It is primarily made from roasted peanuts mixed with jaggery, creating a delightful treat that is enjoyed by people of all ages. To prepare the perfect Kadalai Mittai, it is crucial to follow specific Kadalai Mittai recipe preparation steps to ensure the right balance of sweetness and nuttiness. Start by roasting the peanuts until they are golden brown; this enhances their flavor and gives the sweet its distinctive crunch. After roasting, allow the peanuts to cool before removing the skin. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat jaggery with a little water until it reaches a consistency where it passes the soft ball test, ensuring that it will hold the sweet together.

Once the jaggery is ready, mix in the roasted peanuts and quickly stir until they are well-coated. Make sure to work swiftly as the mixture can harden as it cools down. Transfer the mixture onto a greased plate or tray and flatten it using a spatula or your hands. Allow it to set before cutting it into bite-sized pieces. These Kadalai Mittai recipe preparation steps culminate in a delightful dessert that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also serves as a nutritious snack. Enjoy it at festivals, gatherings, or as a quick bite during busy days, and experience the blissful combination of flavors that make Kadalai Mittai such a beloved confectionery!
