Peanut Mawa Chikki is a delightful traditional Indian sweet snack that combines the rich, creamy texture of mawa (khoya) with the crunchiness of roasted peanuts. Mawa, made by reducing milk to a dense, fudgy consistency, is blended with roasted peanuts and then sweetened with sugar or jaggery. The mixture is pressed into flat discs or squares while still warm, allowing it to set into a firm yet melt-in-the-mouth treat.
This chikki is known for its perfect balance of sweetness, nuttiness, and creaminess, making it a popular choice during festivals, especially Makar Sankranti. It’s not only delicious but also provides a good source of energy due to the protein from peanuts and the richness of mawa. Peanut Mawa Chikki is a favorite among all age groups and is often homemade or purchased from sweet shops across India.
