Instapot Kadalai Urundai - Peanut chikki

OPOS Peanut Chikki:
In a 3QT IP add 200 gms powdered jaggery, 1.5 tbsps water and mix thoroughly without any lumps. Set IP to 1 min on Steam More mode and Pressure Valve set to Sealing. QR. Note that pressure pin may not pop up.
Remove the inner pot. Quickly add 250 gms of roasted peanuts and mix thoroughly. Pour into a greased container or a silicone mat. Cut into pieces while still warm. You can also make it into rounds.
Tips:
1. Work very quickly, as the mixture will harden very quickly and take care not to let the water from the IP lid fall into the jaggery syrup.
2. You can use whole nuts or chopped. Experiment with a variety of nuts like cashews, almonds.
3. In a 6QT double everything except time.
4. In an 8QT, double everything except time.
5. The white powder you see on some of my chikkis are rice flour. If making rounds, dust your palms with rice flour and work quickly to make rounds.
6. From the time my 3qt IP displayed ‘ON’, it took 7 mins 7 secs for the countdown timer to be done. If you experience the burn signal, use the timing as a guide.
7. After mixing and pouring out the peanut jaggery mass, it took about 30 mins for it to set. It depends on how thick you rolled it out to. Score while it’s still pliable.
8. Jaggery and water should be mixed without any lumps.
I used store bought powdered jaggery.
