dates halwa recipe /dry fruit dates burfi

Any dish is elevated just by combining right ingredients that too in right amounts. One such delicate but strengthening sweet is this dates halwa recipe. Combination of dry fruits and toasty coconut chunks makes it more versatile and delicious. You can call it a halwa ,a fudge even as a burfi at last its one wonderful thing that is all sweet. Good part about making this halwa is that only minimal amount of ghee used is all enough to make this dish tasty. I have used freshly grated coconut and toasted it but you can use desiccated coconut. Choice of nuts can be anything you like even some dry grapes can also be added for extra punch. Actually

this dates burfi does not need any flavouring like cardamom or any such thing its all good by itself. Soak dates in warm milk if your dates are little dry and hard. Here my dates were fresh and soft so I made a paste with milk directly. Condensed milk is used to give the exact subtle taste and flavour but even any sugar like jaggery can also be used. Only thing the taste will differ accordingly. Dates when ground are kept chunky but you can make a fine paste and proceed with the recipe. Very simple recipe to make without any fuss and healthy too.Dates is such a valuable nutritional dense ingredient that you should have it frequently in some form or other. Do try this dates halwa recipe for sure you will like it.
