Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanuts, shells and skins removed, roasted
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • ½ cup sugar

Directions

1

Using a mortar and pestle, break and grind the peanuts into small pieces, taking care not to crush them into a powder or paste.

2

Parch the uncooked rice in a dry skillet, stirring continuously, until it becomes slightly browned. Break and grind the rice into pieces as was done with the peanuts.

3

Combine the crushed peanuts and rice. Crush and grind them together until they form a powder, add the sugar and mix well.

4

Using your hands, form the mixture into cubes or pyramids, or press it into a pan and then cut it into squares.

5

Serve immediately, or store in air-tight containers.
