Crafted from organically grown nuts, seeds, and pure jaggery — India's most ancient energy snack, made exactly as grandmothers made it. Crunchy, wholesome, and deeply satisfying.
Chikki is one of India's oldest and most beloved traditional sweets — a brittle confection made by binding toasted nuts or seeds with pure melted jaggery. Dating back centuries in Maharashtra and across India, it was originally crafted by farmers as a high-energy, portable food for long days of field work.
Unlike modern candy bars loaded with refined sugar, glucose syrup, artificial flavours and hydrogenated fats, a genuine chikki contains just two ingredients — the nut or seed, and jaggery. Nothing more. The result is a snack that is genuinely nutritious: packed with protein, healthy fats, iron, calcium, and the slow-releasing energy of jaggery.
At Panchmandal, we make our chikkis entirely by hand using our own farm-grown jaggery and organically sourced nuts and seeds. Each batch is poured, spread, cooled and hand-cut — the way it has always been done. No machines. No shortcuts. No compromise.
Every variant uses a different base ingredient — each bringing its own unique nutritional profile, texture and flavour. All sweetened exclusively with Panchmandal's own pure jaggery.

Every Panchmandal chikki contains exactly two ingredients — the organic nut or seed, and our own pure jaggery. No hidden sugar, no glucose syrup, no artificial flavours, no preservatives.
Our own farm-made, chemical-free jaggery — the same pure jaggery we sell separately. Iron-rich, mineral-dense, and slow-releasing energy. No refined sugar is ever used in our chikkis.
SweetenerSingle-origin organic peanuts sourced from certified farms — freshly roasted in small batches just before chikki preparation to preserve maximum flavour and nutrition.
Peanut ChikkiWhole white sesame seeds grown organically — not hulled or processed. The calcium, sesamin and zinc content of whole sesame far exceeds processed sesame flour or paste.
Sesame ChikkiFreshly grated coconut, lightly dried and toasted — not the heavily processed desiccated coconut powder used in commercial chikkis. Full MCT and lauric acid content preserved.
Coconut Chikki
Our chikki contains the nut or seed + jaggery. That's it. No glucose syrup, no vegetable fat, no food colour, no flavouring agents, no emulsifiers. Read the label — it's refreshingly short.
We use the same pure, iron-rich jaggery from our own mandala farms — the same jaggery we sell in our Jaggery range. Commercial chikkis often use refined sugar or glucose syrup for cost-cutting.
Every piece is hand-poured, hand-spread, naturally cooled and hand-cut. Machine-made chikkis use high-pressure rollers that change texture and over-heat the jaggery — destroying its nutritional value.
Nuts and seeds are roasted fresh just before chikki preparation — never pre-roasted and stored. Fresh-roasted ingredients have higher antioxidant content and superior flavour depth.
Jaggery is a natural preservative. Our chikkis stay fresh for 6 months at room temperature without any added preservatives — stored away from humidity in airtight containers.
Swap your processed energy bar for a traditional chikki — your body will thank you
Jaggery provides slow-releasing complex carbohydrates while nuts and seeds add protein and healthy fats — delivering steady energy for hours without blood sugar spikes or crashes.
High protein content from peanuts and amaranth supports post-workout muscle repair. Iron from jaggery aids oxygen transport to recovering muscles, reducing fatigue and soreness.
Sesame chikki delivers over 300mg calcium per 40g serving — comparable to a glass of milk. Phosphorus, magnesium and Vitamin K work together to maintain strong bones and healthy joints.
The combination of non-heme iron from jaggery and Vitamin C from nuts dramatically improves iron absorption — making chikki a powerful natural remedy for iron-deficiency anaemia.
Niacin, folate, Vitamin B6 and healthy fats from peanuts and dry fruits support neurotransmitter production, memory consolidation and sustained cognitive focus throughout the day.
Dietary fibre from coconut and amaranth promotes gut motility, feeds beneficial gut bacteria and reduces constipation. Jaggery activates digestive enzymes and relieves acidity.
Oleic acid in peanuts, lauric acid in coconut and omega fatty acids in sesame collectively reduce LDL cholesterol, improve arterial flexibility and protect against cardiovascular disease.
With no refined sugar, artificial colours or preservatives, chikki is one of the safest traditional sweets for children — providing real nutrition in a format kids genuinely enjoy eating.
Chikki isn't just a sweet — it's a functional food for every part of your day. Here's how to make the most of each variant at the right time.
A 30–40g piece of chikki is the perfect breakfast companion — giving lasting energy to power through the morning.
Natural sugars from jaggery provide fast fuel before exercise; protein from nuts and seeds supports muscle recovery after.
A genuinely healthy tiffin snack for children — zero artificial ingredients and real nutritional value.
Chikki is one of India's most culturally significant festival foods — deeply auspicious, warmly received.
Chikki was originally a field worker's food — portable, non-perishable, and genuinely sustaining. It remains perfect for travel.
Many chikki variants are naturally suited to Hindu fasting — sattvic ingredients, no grain, no onion, no garlic.
The market is full of chikkis that look traditional but are loaded with glucose syrup and refined sugar. Ours carry the genuine soul of this ancient food.
We use jaggery we make ourselves on our mandala farms — the same pure, chemical-free jaggery we sell in our Jaggery range. No commercial glucose syrup. No refined sugar.
Every peanut, sesame seed, coconut and amaranth grain is sourced from certified organic farms — free from pesticide residues, synthetic fertilisers and post-harvest chemical treatments.
Every piece is made by hand in our farm kitchen — poured, spread, cooled and cut by skilled hands. Industrial chikki machines over-heat jaggery and create a uniform, inferior product.
We don't stockpile chikki for months in a warehouse. Each batch is freshly made close to dispatch — guaranteeing maximum crunch, freshness and nutritional potency.
Our recipe is the same two-ingredient formula used for centuries — nut/seed + jaggery. We have added nothing to improve shelf life, texture or appearance at the cost of purity.
Trade your processed energy bars and sugar-loaded sweets for a Panchmandal chikki — just organic nuts, seeds and pure jaggery. Your body will feel the difference from the very first bite.
