š©š³ Method
1. Prepare the tray
Grease a flat plate or tray with a little ghee and keep it ready.
2. Roast the dry fruits
Lightly roast almonds and walnuts in 1 tbsp ghee until aromatic. Set aside with raisins.
3. Make jaggery syrup
In a heavy pan, heat jaggery with 1 tbsp ghee on low flame until it melts and reaches hard-ball consistency (drop a little syrup in cold water, it should harden instantly).
4. Mix in dry fruits
Quickly add roasted almonds, walnuts, raisins, and sesame seeds to the syrup. Stir well so everything is coated evenly.
5. Set the chikki
Immediately transfer the mixture to the greased tray, spread evenly, and flatten with a rolling pin.
6. Cut & Serve
Once slightly cooled but still soft, cut into squares or bars. Let it harden fully before serving.
