Gajak

This is a traditional Indian sweet brittle made primarily from roasted peanuts (groundnuts) held together by a glaze of jaggery (unrefined cane sugar, or gud). It is a ready-to-eat, crunchy snack, particularly popular in North India, especially during the winter and festivals like Makar Sankranti, as its ingredients are believed to provide warmth and energy.
