I keep
trying making just different things with dates specially in this month
This here
is just very simple , fast to make and good to enjoy each iftar
It has many nuts in it which gives one strength
after the whole days’ fasting
Many countries
have really very long fasts, we here are also hitting the 20 hour sign.
It’s hot
and humid and long days, less time to eat late night, so it is best to have few
things but full with nutrition to give energy to the body
I make
these and keep them in a tin box, they stay
soft and chewy and are finished in a weeks time,as one can only eat one or two
not more.
The easy
way to make them:
300 g
date(pit and cut in pieces)
200 g
almonds (grinded)
3 tbs
desiccated coconut
3-4 tbs
butter
Some oil to
spray
2-3 tbs of
powder milk (Nido)
2-3 tbs
organic honey
-spray some
oil in your chopper, so the dates will not stick to the sides
-grind the
dates till they form a paste
-grind the
almonds too as is, I do not boil or peel them
-now take a
broad pan
-heat the
butter in it and add the dates paste, nuts and the coconut
-mix all
slowly and keep pressing so they don’t
form a round lump
-as the
dates get pretty soft, sprinkle the powder milk and mix well
-adding
powder gives it a firm looks,yet it stays soft
-grease too
large plates with oil and spread the mixture dividing into two halves
-it should
not be too thick, so I divide it.
-Now wait
for a few seconds, then spray some oil on your palm and press the mixture into
a thin flat spread
-now using
a wooden honey wand drizzle honey all over it
-this gives
the mixture a firmness as it cools down, and it is easy to cut out really fine
pieces.
-place the
plates in the fridge for 30 minutes,then you can cut out pieces according to
your wish
-keep them
in a tin box in the room temperature not in the fridge, as the real taste of
the dates may fade away as the butter and honey get hard in the fridge
There is no
sugar in it, it’s all pure natural sweetness of the dates and honey
You’ll love
it I’m sure
