peanut burfi recipe | mungfali ki mithai | groundnut burfi | verkadalai burfi with step by step photo and video recipe. chikki or barfi recipes are perhaps one of the favourites and popular choices for most of us. both the recipes have their own uniqueness and properties which makes it an interesting snack or dessert recipe. but these 2 can be combined together to make it an ideal sweet or dessert recipe which is also known as the peanut burfi recipe or mungfali ki mithai.

i have always been a huge fan of peanut recipes and it is obvious in my blog. from curries to snacks to sweets, i have used it in all my recipes. with respect to sweets, the most common recipe is chikki which again can be made in multiple ways. however, you may have not heard of this chikki barfi recipe. like any other barfi recipe, even this sweet follows the same procedure. in addition due to the combination of peanut with jaggery syrup, you would feel it as a crushed peanut chikki. i personally, like its texture and the chewy taste which otherwise you may not find in any barfi recipe. the chewy texture is obtained due to the jaggery syrup consistency and hence you can alter its texture as per your preference.

furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the peanut burfi recipe or mungfali ki mithai. firstly, i would heavily recommend using fresh raw peanuts for this recipe. stale peanuts may introduce a bad taste to your sweet and hence it is better to avoid it if you have it. secondly, the same sweet can also be made with sugar syrup too. using sugar syrup would give you better taste and texture, but jaggery is a healthier option. lastly, you may follow the same steps and procedure with another choice of nuts and dry fruits. the best alternative is cashew nut, almonds, pista and walnuts.

finally, i would like to highlight my other related sweets recipes collection with this post on peanut burfi recipe. it mainly includes my other related recipes like icecream barfi, kaju katli, besan ladoo, mohanthal, kozhukattai, puran poli, rava modak, poornam boorelu, rava laddu, wheat sweet. further to these i would also like to add some more additional recipe categories like,
