Oats Chikki Recipe
Oats is a healthy stuff which you should include in your daily diet. But the hard part is how do you do that, it is so boring to have the regular porridge and shakes again and again. So let's try something like a candy which you can put in your kids tiffin box or make a large batch of it and store in a glass jar and place it where your kids will look often. I am sure that they will empty it in no time.
Now talking about this balls. These are delicious but so healthy for you. I am sure that your kids will go crazy about these balls and will bug you always to make this for them..I hope you will love it for sure and tell me how it turned out.
How to Make Oats Chikki Recipe
- Take oats in a dry pan and toast it for few minutes till you get nice aroma of it. Remove on to a plate and allow to cool down.
- Heat jaggery and water in a kadai and heat it up. Let the jaggery melt down and begins to bubble up.
- Let it bubble until it gets thick and the right consistency.( to check that drop few drops of jaggery in a plate that is filled with cold water, the jaggery should not melt in the water, if you press that with your fingers it should come together and form balls out of it).
- Now add in oats, cashews, and raisins. Mix well.
- Take it off the heat and add some sprinkles in it to make it more colourful.Mix well.
- Now while it is still warm. Apply some ghee in your fingers and form small balls out of it.
- Arrange it in a platter and serve or allow it to cool completely and put in an air tight container.
