Instructions

Dry roast the chopped nuts individually on medium heat till they are warm. Set aside.
Heat ghee in a wok and add the chopped dates and figs.
Turn the heat to low and with the help of a big flat spatula (preferably wooden) beat the contents and turn them around. This will take 4-5 minutes.
Add all the roasted nuts.
Now hold the wok tightly with a pair of tongs or cloth and with your working hand try to get all of them to stick and mix together.
Keep beating it and mixing it, till one big brown nutty amalgam is formed. This takes about 5-6 minutes.
Switch the flame off. Set the mixture aside to cool for a couple of minutes.
Although still hot, use some ghee to grease your palm.
Transfer the mixture onto a cling wrap.
Mold the mixture into a ball. Squeeze out the air bubbles.
Shape the mixture into a log. Make sure the log is tight and free of air bubbles.
Refrigerate the log for 30 minutes or an hour.
Once done, remove from the refrigerator and slice them with a sharpened knife to make rounds.
Enjoy with a glass of milk or devour them as it is.
