Date & Nut Rolls (Khajur Pak)

Ingredients

400g Cinderella Camel Dates

2 cups mixed nuts* (½ cup cashews, ½ cup walnuts, ½ cup almonds and ½ cup pistachios)

1 tbsp ghee (or butter/oil)

1 tsp ground cardamom

¼ cup desiccated coconut

Method

1. Roughly chop the dates and nuts.
2. Dry roast the nuts in a pan until lightly golden, then set aside.
3. Add ghee and dates to the pan, stirring until softened and sticky.
4. Mix in the cardamom, followed by the roasted nuts, until well combined.
5. Allow to cool slightly, then shape the mixture into a log.
6. Sprinkle coconut onto a flat surface and roll the log through it, shaping into a long, even roll.
7. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate overnight or freeze for 2–3 hours until firm.
8. Slice into even rounds and enjoy!

Tips:

*Use your favourite combination of nuts, ensuring the total quantity is 2 cups.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly before rolling to make it easier to shape.

If the mixture isn’t binding together, add a little extra ghee.

Store in the fridge and remove 30 minutes before serving to allow the rolls to soften slightly.
