Khubani Khajur ka meetha

Khubani Khajur ka meetha

I literally waited a lot to cook this recipe. Didnt get a chance to make it. Finally made it when my friend came home for lunch  . This i made it without adding sugar. YES it did taste good and its very healthy too  . It came out as sweet as my friend   . This is very easy recipe and you won’t disappoint anyone. I used lots of dates in the recipe (about little more than 150gms i guess) . You can sugar too. But I just wanted to try it without sugar. It came out reasonably well  . Here is the recipe

INGREDIENTS :-

Khubani(dried apricots) :- 100 gms

Dates :- 100-150 gms (adjust this according to the sweetness you prefer)

Ghee :- about 3-4 teaspoons (Adjust)

Badam /Cashew :-according to you wish and will

METHOD :-

1. Soak khubani and dates together in water iovernight. If you’ve forgotten to soak(As I did ) don’t worry soak them in warm water 5 hours before making the recipe.
2. Take the soaked khubani and kharjur and remove the seeds out of them.
3. Keep aside khubani seeds and break them open by beating them with a stone probably and you find tiny almond like seeds . They taste and smell similar to almonds. Keep them aside we will use them in the recipe.
4. Now in a pan add soaked khubani and kharjur add the water in which they were soaked into it ,close the lid and bring them to boil.
5. Add the khubani seeds which look like almond seeds and mash the khubani kharjur mixture until smooth using a ladle and simmer it till it attains desired consistency
6. Add ghee at the end
