Khajur Roll | Dates & Nut Roll

These scrumptious Khajur Rolls are made with dates, poppy seeds along with the goodness of dry fruits such as almonds, cashews, pistachios, etc. Give your taste buds a sweet treat with this lip-smacking dessert this Diwali and overwhelm your guests with the rich flavors this dish would offer.

Since Khajur Rolls or Khajur burfi are filled with dry fruits they provide a soft yet chewy texture. They make a power-packed workout snack and perfect for those having sweet tooth and don't want to indulge in refined sugar-based desserts.

Khajur barfi is completely sugarless as dates are the source of sweetness in this burfi.

Ingredients:

500 gms seed less dates,
1/4th cup almonds, chopped,
1/4th cup almonds, slivered,
1/4th cup pistachios, chopped,
1/4th cup golden raisins, washed and clean dried,
1/4th cup pumpkin seeds, (optional, I have not used)
1/4th cup cashews, (optional, I have not used)
2-3 tbsp poppy seeds, dry roasted,
1-2 tsp ghee,

Method:

Chop the dates finely or run it in a food processor to make it into fine pieces.
In a heavy bottomed pan, heat the ghee. Add the chopped dates and mix well.
Let it simmer for 3-4 mins. Keep stirring in between.
Add all the nuts and mix everything together. Remove from flame and allow it to cool completely.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Now roll into 1.5 inch thick logs.
Refrigerate this for about an hour.
Spread the roasted poppy seeds on to a flat surface. Roll the dates log onto the poppy seeds making sure it coats evenly.
Chop the sides to get an even surface. Now start cutting the log into thin 2-3 cm slices.
Place it on a serving plate and serve.

This stays well for a very long time. Its like a nutri-bar which can be had daily. This tastes very delicious.

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...
