Steps In Making Khajur Ki Burfi
- Remove the seeds from the dates and chop them in small pieces.
- Roughly chop all the dry fruits like cashews, pistachios, almonds and walnuts.
- In a heavy bottom pan dry roast the poppy sweets for 2-3 minutes till they turn light golden brown and release an aromatic smell.
- In a pan add half the ghee and once it melts add all the dried fruits like cashew, almonds, walnuts, pistachios and roast for 3-4 minutes till they release an aromatic smell. Once done remove them in a plate
- In the same pan add the rest of the ghee and once it melts add the chopped dates to it. Cook for 3-4 minutes on medium flame. The dates will be hard and sticky earlier but once they cook they will turn soften.
- Once done lower the flame and add all the roasted nuts, poppy seeds and dried cranberry and mix till everything is well combined.
- Transfer it onto a board and let it cool down for 2-3 minutes.
- Now divide the mixture into two parts and gently roll each of them into cylindrical shape by pressing them with your palm.
- Spread some poppy seeds and pistachios and roll the log onto it for presentation. (optional)
- Take an aluminium foil and cover the khajur burfi rolls in it wrapping them tightly from the sides.
- Keep the logs in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Remove the rolls from the foil and cut them into half cm size round pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for upto 2 months.
Recipe Notes For Khajur Ki Burfi
- Can grind the dates in a mixer grinder till it forms a soft paste. ( Don’t add water)
- Chop the nuts in medium size as it will be difficult to form khajur burfi rolls with large pieces of nuts.
- Can use any dried nuts of your choice, just keep the final measurements same.
- Don’t add extra nuts else it will be difficult to form logs.
- These dont need extra sugar as dates naturally sweet.
