Kadlai Urundai (Sweet Peanut-Crunch Balls) Recipe 🥜🍬
Description: Jaggery (also known as unrefined sugar) was originally rather hard to find outside India, but I think you should be able to find it in large supermarkets elsewhere today. Don’t substitute jaggery with anything though; it forms the essence of this easy sweet that’s native to Kerala, South India. Enjoy!

Instructions:
-
Prepare Peanuts: Place the roasted and shelled peanuts in a large bowl.

-
Melt Jaggery: In a frying pan on high flame, heat the jaggery and water together, stirring continuously.
-
Check Consistency: Once the molten jaggery becomes “stringy” (Test this by dropping 1/4 tsp of the mixture into a cup of water; you should be able to make a ball out of it with your fingers), pour it over the peanuts.
-
Mix Well: Mix well immediately to ensure even coating.
-
Form Balls: When partially cooled (cool enough to handle!), make walnut-sized balls using your hands.
-
Cool and Store: Cool completely in a tray and store in an airtight tin to maintain freshness.
