Pista Dates Burfi
பிஸ்தா பேரிச்சம்பழ பர்ஃபி
Unsalted Pistachios ( உப்பு சேர்க்காத பிஸ்தா பருப்பு ) - 150g
Dates ( பேரிச்சம்பழம் ) - 10 to 12
Raw Sugar ( பழுப்பு சக்கரை ) - 2 tsp( optional / தேவையென்றால்)
Ghee / Clarified butter ( நெய் ) - 1 tsp
Cardamom powder ( ஏலக்காய்த் தூள் ) - 1/4 tsp
Steps:
Coarse grind the pistachios. Remove the seeds and make a paste of the dates.
 |
| Heat half a teaspoon of ghee in a heavy bottom pan. |
 |
| Add both the pistas and dates and mix well. Add the raw sugar if you prefer to. |
 |
| Add the remaining spoon of ghee and allow the mixture to cook well. Finally, when it starts to leave the sides of the pan, add the flavouring, cardamom powder. |
 |
| Transfer to a greased tray. Spread evenly using a greased knife. Allow it to set. |
 |
| Slice it and store it. |
This sweet can be a so-called healthy snack. When your kid is not willing to eat nuts, raisins, and dates, this is the best way.
The cardamom is also good for health. It has antioxidants and believed to have antibacterial properties.
The soft sweet dates and the coarse pistachios are a great combination. The slices will be soft as no sugar syrup or any other binding flour is added. You can also roll into balls and pop into your mouth. The shelf life is also limited as no sugar syrup is used and it is cooked for around 5 to 8 minutes only. So best is to finish within a few days or refrigerate.
