Regi Pandu Chikki recipe with sugar | Regipallu - Jujubes Recipe

Regi Pandu Chikki recipe with sugar or Jujube fruit fudge-Brittle is a tasty, easy and healthy recipe and most people like this sweet. It is a unique fudge recipe made with green jujube yet similar to dry fruit chikki recipe. Regipandu or Jujube is a tasty berry fruit available in markets during winter, so I thought of making these chikkis for this pongal or sankrati festival. Regipandu or Regi pallu as it is referred to in Telugu or Regi pandu in english is called as jujube fruit, available in different sizes, colors and tastes. 

Bigger size fruits which are almost the size of plums are referred to as Seema Regi pandu or Ganga Regipandu in Telugu language are also rich in nutrients but they won't taste as much good as the smaller ones. 

This fruit is initially green in colour and as they ripe they change to brownish colour. The firm white colored pulp inside the fruit changes to gooey and creamish in colour. The Jujube fruit as it ripens increases in its nutrient values too.

So most people doesn't like to eat the bigger ones. The bigger jujubes are really not of much taste. I wanted to make some recipe using the bigger seema regi pandu so that I can enhance its taste. And that is how I discovered this unique recipe.
