Roast peanuts in a pan over low heat until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Allow peanuts to cool, then remove skins by rubbing them between your hands.

Grind the peanuts in a food processor until coarse, being careful not to turn them into peanut butter.

In a separate pan, melt jaggery with a little water over low heat until it dissolves completely, stirring continuously.

Add cardamom powder and salt to the jaggery syrup, mixing well.

Pour the jaggery mixture over the ground peanuts and mix thoroughly until well combined.

Grease your hands with ghee and take small portions of the mixture to form into balls.

Roll the balls in coconut flakes or sesame seeds for added texture, if desired.

Place the formed balls on a plate to cool and set for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
