The Passion for Spices™ team would like to honor and celebrate mothers everywhere. Our “Cook at Home” is a great way to create memories with mom! The pandemic has made family gatherings even more meaningful and intimate. We cherish all these moments, looking back and realize that these are special moments in everyone’s life.

For me, my mother was the center of our family, and I want to honor her memory. I was fortunate to have her as my mother and as well to be a mother myself to my son.

Passion for Spices sustainable methodology showcases the importance of Families Cooking Together and we are here to help you experience the joy of cooking with your entire family, especially your mom or grandma.

Please enjoy the healthy fig and date bar, Anjeer Khajoor Barfi, for your holidays

Anjeer Khajoor Barfi (Fig & Date Bars)

Makes 6 Servings

Procedure:

1. Soak the dry figs and dates, separately, in hot water, just to cover the dried fruit for 15~20. Drain the water and grind them to a smooth paste adding a tablespoon of water. 

2. Melt ghee and oil in a heavy bottom pan, and add the figs and date puree and cook on medium heat low, stirring frequently, until the mixture dries out about 15 minutes.

3. Stir in the nuts and the cardamom and mix well to combine the mixture well.

4.  Continue to cook the barfi, on medium low heat, stirring frequently, for another 10 minutes or until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan.

5. Remove the mixture into a greased plate or tin and press down to form the barfi.

6. Set aside to cool. Cut into squares or diamonds when completely cooled.

 

Here is a curated menu for you and your family to enjoy and have a memorable experience this holiday season.
