Chikki (Peanut Candy)

Another dish from our final Indian cooking class - a candy that seems to be very similar to peanut brittle to me.

Ingredients:
1½ cups roasted peanuts
1 cup sugar
½ tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp oil
2 sheets greaseproof paper

Method:
1. Grease a non-stick pan and the wooden spatula with oil.
2. Place one greaseproof paper sheet on the board and grease it lightly, where you are going to put the mixture later on.  Grease lightly in the other sheet too.
3. Coarsely crush the roasted peanuts.
4. Melt sugar in the prepared non-stick pan until it is in liquid form and has turned light brown in colour.
5. Add crushed peanuts and cardamom powder into the melted sugar.
6. Mix thoroughly but quickly and put this mixture onto the prepared board.
7. Place the other prepared sheet of greased paper facing down on the mixture and roll it out with a rolling pin to spread it evenly.
8. Cut it with a greased knife into 4-5cm squares.
9. Allow it to cool and break into pieces.

Store in an airtight container.
