Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 2 cups dried figs or anjeer
• 1 cup cashew nuts or kaju, powdered

Instructions

1. Soak anjeer or dried figs in water for 3-4 hours. When they become completely soft, dry them and grind thoroughly into a smooth paste without any lumps.
2. Take some cashew and grind them dry to make a fine powder.
3. Heat a pan and add jaggery powder and 2-3 tbsp of water and once it melts, add Anjeer paste in it and cook for 5-8 minutes on low to medium flame until the water has completely evaporated.
4. Add cashew or Kaju powder in it and mix. Also, add milk powder and keep stirring (as the mixture will turn a little sticky at this point) and cooking. Add elaichi or cardamom powder to this mixture. Also, add sliced mix dry fruits and nuts.
5. Finally, add ghee and mix. Keep stirring and cooking until the mixture sticks together nicely and leaves the pan as it doesn’t stick to the pan anymore.
6. Let this mixture cool down for 10 minutes. Knead it a little once it has cooled.
7. On a flat plate or tray spread a butter paper or aluminum foil and grease it with some ghee.
8. Flatten the mixture using hands or rolling pin and make a rectangular shape of about 5 mm thickness.
9. Let it cool in a refrigerator for about 2-4 hours and then using a sharp knife cut into diamond-shaped barfis or bars. Garnish with sliced pistachio.
