Ingredients
Scale
Nuts and Seeds
- ¼ cup almond, chopped
- ¼ cup cashew, chopped
- 2 tablespoon pistachio, chopped
- 2 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Dates Mixture
- 2 cup pitted dates (about 30), roughly chopped
- ¼ cup raisins
- ½ tablespoon butter or ghee (or coconut oil for vegan)
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- Toast Nuts and Seeds: Take all the chopped nuts in a pan and dry roast them on medium heat for 30 seconds until they are lightly toasted. Add the sesame seeds and roast for a few more seconds to bring out their flavor. Remove the nuts and seeds into a bowl and set aside.
- Cook Dates Mixture: In the same pan, add the butter or ghee and the chopped dates. Cook on low heat for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously with a spatula until the dates soften. Then add the raisins, roasted nuts and seeds, and cardamom powder, and cook the mixture for another minute to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.
- Cool and Mix: Allow the mixture to cool until it is comfortable to handle. Then use your hands to mix the ingredients further if needed, ensuring an even distribution of nuts and spices.
- Roll and Chill: Transfer the date mixture onto a sheet of cling wrap and roll it into a log shape tightly. Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator to chill and set. Once firm, cut into slices as desired and serve cold.

- Ensure the dates are soft for easy cooking; soak them in warm water if necessary before chopping.
- Store the date roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
