Methods

  • Chop the dates and then pulse them in a food processor. If the dates remain chunky, then soak them in boiling water and pulse again to form a paste.  If they form a paste first time you pulse it, then soaking is not necessary. Pulse to a paste.
  • Melt the butter or coconut oil in a pan, add the cardamom. Add the dates and mix well.
  • Add the Puffed Millet and nuts to the mixture and mix well.
  • Transfer to a bowl, allow to cool enough to handle.
  • Working with slightly wet hands, pinch of pieces of date mix and roll into balls of around 3cm diameter.
