Default Chikki - the caramel version of vella urundai.

Sugar - 1 cup

Roasted crisp nuts - 1 cup ( can be just peanuts or a combination of halved crisp pista, blanched, halved & crispened almonds, crisp melon seeds etc)

Ghee - 3 tbsp

In a heavy kadai, mix sugar & ghee & melt – stir gently & occasionally.

Once they both have mixed well, don’t stir & keep on medium heat.

When the sugar completely melts & caramelises, it turns into honey colour.

Add nuts & switch off.

Mix well & empty on an aluminium foil.

Roll quickly with a well greased rolling pin.

Mark before it sets.

Cut when cold – rather break into pieces .
