- Dates – 5
- Milk Powder – 3 Tbsp
- Icing Sugar – 1 Tbsp
- Desiccated Coconut – 3 Tbsp
- Badam / Almond – 5
Time to Make : 10 min
How to Prepare:
1. De-seed the Dates and place one Badam/Almond each inside the individual Dates (in the place of the seed removed by you).
2. In a bowl, add Milk Powder, Icing Sugar and 1 1/2 Tbsp of Desiccated Coconut. Mix all these ingredients with 1 tsp of water and prepare thick dough. Do not add all the water at once, dough can turn too soft or watery.
3. Divide the dough into 5 equal sized dough balls. Press with hand each of these dough balls to obtain 5 small, Poori/Papad sized dough plates. Position a Date (from Step 1) on one of these Poori/Papad sized dough plates and roll it into oblong shape as shown in the image. Repeat this step for all the remaining four Dates.
4. Now roll these oblong shaped Dates on remaining Desiccated Coconut.
