Peanut Chikki calories
per piece, not per 100 g
The short answer
One piece, weighed
118kcal 1 piece — taken as 25 g — has about 118 calories, with 3.5 g protein, 13.6 g carbohydrate and 5.5 g fat. Two come to 236 kcal, three to 353 kcal.
Per 100 g, peanut chikki carries 471 kcal and 13.9 g protein.

From a table row to one piece
- Read the per-100 g row for peanut chikki out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 471 kcal and 13.9 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 piece at 25 g (peanuts set in jaggery). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
- Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 471 × 25 ÷ 100 = 118 kcal per piece. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two pieces are exactly twice one.
- Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.

What it takes to burn off 1 piece of peanut chikki
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 118 kcal, using MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. This is a scale check, not a licence — appetite rises with activity and the two do not cancel neatly.

Where peanut chikki sits in an Indian plate
Among the 24 sweets & mithai entries on this site, peanut chikki ranks 1st for protein (13.9 g per 100 g) and 5th for energy density (471 kcal per 100 g). Nothing else in the group carries more protein per 100 g.
Protein supplies 12% of its energy — respectable, but a plate built only on this will run short. Dal, curd, paneer or eggs close the gap cheaply. Fibre is moderate at 4.7 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.
Questions
How many calories are in 1 piece?
About 118 kcal for 1 piece, taken as 25 g (peanuts set in jaggery). Two come to roughly 236 kcal and three to 353 kcal. Per 100 g, peanut chikki carries 471 kcal.
How much protein is in peanut chikki?
13.9 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.5 g in 1 piece. That is 12% of the energy in this food, and ranks 1st of 24 in the sweets & mithai group on this site.
Is peanut chikki good for weight loss?
At 471 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. Protein is moderate, so pair it with dal, curd or a non-veg side to stay full. No single food makes or breaks a diet; the total for the day does.
Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume peanuts set in jaggery. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
Recipe analysis from sourced ingredients. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate — dietary fibre excluded and listed separately.
Recipe and finished weight: 55 g roasted peanuts set into 48 g melted jaggery and rolled thin. A little water boils off. Finished weight 100 g.
Confidence in the quantities: medium. There is a real assumption here about how much of something went in, but it sits inside a narrow normal range.
Source row: IFCT 2017 H012, Ground nut; IFCT 2017 I001, Jaggery, cane. Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement, so it reconciles by construction — that is a property of the method and not evidence that the quantities are right. The ingredient weights are this site's assumption; the table rows behind each ingredient are not. Jaggery here is IFCT I001 as this site publishes it, which is a row the audit flagged as sitting about 8% above IFCT's own energy figure.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
