Take jaggery in a thick bottom kadai. Pour over some water and mix it up. When it is melted, strain it through a sieve.
Now pour this water back into a kadai and boil it up. Let it boil on a medium flame for 10 mins or so till it gets thick and reaches hard ball stage.(Refer Notes)
At this point, turn off the stove and add peanuts, mix well.
