NOTE: Please do not send in entries that are deep fried. Please do not send in Burfi. They will come under a different category. There is a difference between chikki and burfi. Chikki is a made of pure Indian cane sugar called jaggery is heated and mixed it to nuts, sesame seeds or poha and shaping it before it hardens. There are three common types, with either nuts (mostly peanuts), sesame seeds, or puffed rice. Note that the jaggery is used only to coat the roasted nuts/sesame or crisp poha. Burfi is when the content is mixed continuously in heat and then laying it in a flat plate and cutting into diamonds after it cools a little.
