Today is my dads birthday so i again got a chance to post a sweet recipe...:-)). I had made this dates and fig burfi today along with some other things.It turned out very well and was very tasty too...Its a very healthy burfi as dates and figs are by them selfs very healthy and dry fruits in it increase the protein value.Give it a try and i am sure u all will like it
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 n 1/2 cups dried figs(anjeer)
- 1 n 1/2 cups seedless dates
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup chopped almonds and cashewnuts
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup desi ghee( butter)
METHOD:
Soak figs in hot water for 1o mins.Drain it and make fine puree using little water.Similarly chop dates and soak in hot water for 30 mins and grind it to fine puree.
Heat ghee in a pan. Add dates and fig puree and sugar.Add sugar according to ur taste, you can even skip adding sugar as dates and figs have their own sweetness.Stir well and cook on medium heat, stir countinously and cook till the moisture dries up.
Add half quantity of chopped walnuts,cashewnuts and almonds and mix well and continue to cook for ten to fifteen minutes, stirring continuously. The mixture will begin to leave the sides of the pan and form a ball.
Grease a tray with ghee and spread the mixture evenly with a greased flat surfaced plate.sprinkle the remaining dry fruits on it and again press them using flat surface.
Let it cool and get set.You can even refrigerate it to get set for 30 mins.Cut it in desired shape and serve.
Preparation Time: 40 mins
