:D Dr.Dosai Raman is back… Had so much time to kill didn’t know what to do hence whatever that has been done… Previously I had invented the fractal dosa this time around it is the kadalai mittai aka chikki for the super heroes… yeah bear with me !!!

the coveted formula/procedure here…
Kadalai mittai aka Chikki (probably in english sweet peanut cake or some name that is so distasteful) the traditional one is way too brittle, just put it in your mouth and with the slightest effort from your teeth it breaks, well don’t be disheartened here it is the formula for making the really non-brittle yet sweet chikki.


Chemicals/Apparatus required:

1. Ground nut/peanut or kadalai.

peanut

2. Jaggery/Gud.

jaggery

3. H2O (Oxide of hydrogen is preferred than the hydride of Oxygen, the hydride is a bit explosive so be careful if all you get is the hydride)

3. Some saturated fatty acid (preferably clarified butter aka ghee). This prevents the Jaggery from sticking to the container in the kiln.

4. A kiln that can heat the explosive jaggery to melting point.

5. A borosil container coated with teflon for heating the jaggery.

6. A teflon flat bottomed round shaped flask for roasting the peanuts.( yeah the peanut is oxidized till it become brown hot)


Disclaimer: The experiment is being performed by professionals who boast of more than three months of experience in such dangerous work environment. Please (and please) do not try this at home.


Theory/Procedure:

Jaggery, primarily Mollases(incidentally reminded from the writing in the pack, nevermind)… Mollases are a source of CH4 also known as methane. Methane is a highly explosive gas. To avoid the emitted methane from exploding we use Oxide of hydrogen.
The oxide of hydrogen on heating along with the Mollases decomposes to form Hydroxyl ions (OH-). The emitted methane undergoes hydrolysis(of course with the hydroxyl ions) hence forming the compound CH3OH known as methanol.

Now now you get why it is just for the superheroes… Methanol is lethal for humans, but for superheroes it is their fuel. And methanol doesn’t let the chikki become brittle.

After combating the emitted methane with the Oxide of hydrogen, add the groundnuts to the docile mixture and allow it to set. Ha haaa…. here after 30 minutes you should be getting the Chikki of the Superheroes…

chikki

Inference :
The emitted methanol is harmful for humans and this chikki needs to be consumed only by superheroes…

Until next time Dr.Dosa raman bids adieu… Muahahahahaha… All hail the mighty dosai, All hail Dr.Dosai raman.


PS: On a very serious note the chikki hasnt set… it is still in a jelly form and it has been 5 hours or so :( :( I got frustrated… The second experimet of mysore pak also resulted in jelly… there seems to be some kind of an external agent in my kiln I guess…Mission obliterate parasite begins…
