Cooking Instructions
- Place chopped dates and figs in a blender and blend for 2-3 minutes (1-2 tablespoon of water can be added if necessary). You will need to use a greased spatula to remove the date and fig mixture from the blender jug.
- Dry-roast the nuts in a pan on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, and remove from pan. Using the same pan, dry-roast the sesame seeds and coconut for about a minute.
- Heat the ghee or butter in a heavy-based pot. Add the date and fig mixture and sauté for approximately 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Now add the chopped nut, sesame seeds, desiccated coconut and cardamom powder and allow to cook till the mixture comes together, resembling a dough-like substance.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool before kneading the mixture.
- Grease your palms with some ghee and roll into ping pong sized balls. Roll in powdered edible glitter and allow to dry for a couple of hours before storing in an airtight container.
- Alternatively you can roll the mixture into a log shape, and sprinkle with powdered almonds and pistachios. Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours before slicing and serving.
