• 2 Tbsp Ghee
• 1/4th Cup Thick Poha

Method :

• Take peanuts in a thick bottom pan and dry roast on medium flame until they are crunchy.
• Once they are roasted, remove from stove and leave them to cool. After they are cool enough rub them between your palms to peel there skin off.
• Now add the peanuts in a blender and grind it to coarse powder.
• Add grated  jaggery to the blender with peanuts and grind it. Don’t grind it too much as it will release oil from peanuts. You can even pulse it 3 or 4 times. Remove peanut jaggery mixture to a bowl.
