"SLC-S25/W4 | Date And Nut Bars"

First of all, I would like to say that I have seen all the entries, almost all of them have used chocolate in making Date and nut bar, so I have tried different recipes from them, which I am now sharing with you. I hope you will like my different style of Data and nut bar. Because dates are already sweet and have a great taste, I think adding chocolate to them would be a bit too much because it makes their flavor a little bitter, so I didn't use chocolate in my date and nut bar.

Bismillaherahmanuraheem!

I washed the dates and then precision-chopped the almonds, walnuts, and cashews with a sharp knife.

After cleaning the dates, I carefully removed the pits.

After that, in my second step, I took a blender machine and started adding the cleaned dates inside it and I blended it well by running the machine until all the dates were mixed.

As I told you, I am making my own recipe in a slightly different way, so for this I took a frying pan and placed it on a very low flame and added a spoonful of ghee to it. When the ghee was slightly warm, I started adding all my nuts to it. First I added the cashews.
After that, I added the peanut 🥜, added the chopped walnuts, and finally, I added the chopped almonds.
After mixing them well, I fried them thoroughly on a very low flame for two minutes.

When all these things were fried well and their wonderful aroma spread everywhere, I started adding the mashed dates to it. After that, I mixed all the nuts well in the mashed dates and then I turned off the flame.

After that, I laid a piece of paper on the table and placed the mixture of my date and nut bar on it and with the help of my hands, I folded it well and gave it the shape of a roll. Then I scattered the sesame seeds on top of the paper and started rolling my roll again on top of it, which made all the sesame seeds I had stick well to the roll. You can see in the picture that my date and nut bar looked even more beautiful after I folded it in the same paper and put it in the fridge for a while to cool.

Then, after about an hour, I took it out of the fridge and it was very well chilled. Then, I cut it into small round pieces with the help of a knife and I cut some of the nut bars into long shapes.

When I made this dessert, dates were the main thing holding it all together. I did not use sugar or any syrup. Just dates. They gave the natural sweetness and soft texture. The best part? They are full of energy and help digestion too. In Pakistan, we easily find dates. Mostly during Ramadan, markets are full of them. But even in other months, dates are very common. I picked soft ones from a nearby shop. They were not too costly and tasted nice. Honestly, I was surprised how good the bars turned out just because of these dates. Without them, this dessert would not feel complete at all

This dessert feels perfect for Ramadan or Eid. I would love to make it for Iftar. It gives energy without being too heavy. Also, if someone’s coming over during a family dinner or on Eid day, this would be a great little treat to offer. It looks neat when cut into squares and tastes even better the next day. My younger brother and sister really loved it. I was not sure how it will look and in taste. Because I tried this first time. But I followed simple steps and used what I had. I’m proud of the result. It’s sweet, soft, and full of nuts. Honestly, I’ll be making it again soon, maybe even gifting it to someone close.

May all my friends always be happy🤗 and remember me in your prayers🤲.

Thank you for being with me.
