Anjeer (dried fig) burfi
These delicious and healthy anjeer (dried fig) burfis require only 5 ingredients and less than 30 minutes to make!
Ingredients
- 220 g dried figs chopped
- 120 g soft pitted dates chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 100 g mixed nuts chopped
- ½ tablespoon butter
- 4 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Dry roast the chopped nuts in a pan, on a low flame till they are crunchy. Set them aside.
- To the same pan, add the chopped figs and stir well. Sprinkle the water and cook till they are soft.
- Add the dates, ground cardamom and mix well.
- The mixture will be very sticky at this stage. Add the butter to prevent it from sticking to the pan and combine everything well.
- Finally, fold in the chopped nuts and cook for 5 minutes till the mixture is firm.
- Place a parchment paper on a flat wooden surface and transfer the burfi mixture on it.
- Place another parchment paper on top and gently roll the mixture till it is flat and about half an inch thick.
- Let it cool completely, and then cut into diamonds or squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- Nutrition values are a rough estimate for guidance.
- You can use whichever nuts you prefer. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews and pecans are a few that I like to add.
