Ramadan Special - Dates, Coconut & Nuts

Ramadan Kareeeeem!!!

Ramadan is the month I love to spend in Riyadh - not in Dubai! Its peaceful out here.

Date is the fruit all Muslims use to break their fast and it has health benefits as well. 

Dates

So, this is my papa's recipe and lil bit of mine..hehe..

What you need:

2 Cups dates - seeds removed.

1/2 Cup Butter

1 Cup Mix Nuts (Almonds, walnuts, pistachio etc)

Coconut crushed

What you need to do : 

Put a pan on medium heat and add dates and 4 tablespoons of butter.

Keep mixing and breaking all the dates until they are real soft.

Now add all the nuts and remaining butter.

Mix Mix Mix!

Do NOT leave the stove unattended as the dates can get burn.

Once, dates are soft and everything is well mixed take it off the stove and you can refrigerate it for the whole month and use it in different recipes.

This is what I did!

I made small coconut filled balls and coated them in coconut flakes - SIMPLE :D

You can vary it by filling it with cream or almonds or cashews, anything you love :)

Happy Ramadan ! :)
