Peanuts are usually called as poor men’s cashews or almonds. It is a very easy sweet / snack made with just two main ingredients.Though I have eaten it so many times, from my childhood days this is the first time I am trying my hands on this kadalai urundai recipe. If rolled into balls it’s kadalai urundai. But if poured in a tray and cut into squares, it is called kadalai mittai. In Tamilnadu, Kovilpatti is very famous for kadalai mittai. It is said 2 or 3 varieties of jaggery is used along with sugar, liquid glucose and vanilla essence with colorful dried coconut shreds on top. As karthigai deepam is nearing, I thought of sharing this recipe. Do try this and let me know your feedback.

Kadalai Mittai Steps34. Pour the filtered jaggery in a pan and keep stirring in low flame. Add cardamom powder, give a quick stir and first bubbles will start to appear. Do the whole process in low flame.
Kadalai Mittai Steps45. The jaggery syrup starts to thicken. Keep water in a small bowl readily to check the syrup consistency. Pour 2 drops of jaggery syrup in the water, if it dissolves the syrup is thin. If it stands firmly in the water, then try to roll into a ball. If you are able to make a hard ball, then it’s the right consistency. Switch off flame.
Kadalai Mittai Steps56. Now add the roasted peanuts to the jaggery syrup. Mix quickly with the ladle. Grease both your hands with ghee, take a small portion and start rolling into balls. If it cools down, it cannot be rolled. But this kadalai mixture can be re-heated again in very low flame for few minutes, the jaggery melts and it can be rolled easily.
