Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Kovilpatti kadalai mittai special?
The Kovilpatti style is known for using good-quality local peanuts and jaggery cooked to a precise stage, giving a thin, glassy crunch rather than a chewy bar.
Is it the same as chikki?
It is a close relative of Maharashtrian and Gujarati chikki. The main differences are regional recipe and texture.
How do I keep it crunchy?
Store in an airtight jar away from humidity. If the candy turns sticky, a few minutes in the fridge helps it firm up again.
