Keep your festive spirits soaring as the first festival of the year is here. Observed across India, Makar Sankranti marks the end of the winter solstice and the beginning of consistently longer days. Known for colorful decorations, music, kite flying, bonfires, and feasts, the festival is celebrated with family and friends. For most parts of India, this period is also a part of the early stages of the agricultural cycle, where crops have been sown and the hard work in the fields is mostly over. The time thus signifies a period of socializing and preparing delicacies dear to each part of the country. Adding a crunch of happiness and joy to the celebrations, we bring to you a delicious recipe of Walnut Chikki. Usually, Chikki is made using peanuts, but in this unique recipe, we have made chikki using some crunchy walnuts.
