Dry fruit balls

Ramazan is here. Dates are available aplenty. 

I first tasted this 'snack' in my friend's house. Of course, there was a coating made with sweetened condensed milk.

I have omitted it as my husband is very health conscious.

Why not make a healthy snack incorporating all the dry fruits?

Dates - 1 cup

Cashewnuts - 1/4 cup

Almonds - 1/4 cup

Walnut - 1/4 cup

Pistachio - 1/4 cup

Butter - 1 tsp

Dry roast cashewnuts, almonds, walnuts and pistachio seperately for 1 minute on low flame to make them crisp.

In the same vessel, add the butter.

Once it melts, add the dates and fry till you feel it turns soft / slight mushy.

Cool everything and tip in the cashew, almonds, walnuts and pistachio into a dry mixer.

Pound coarsely.

Next add the dates and run for a minute till all everything mixes up.

Tip into a dry vessel and make balls.

Store in airtight containers.
