Place the nuts in a non-stick pan with 1 tsp butter, ghee or oil. Lightly roasted the nuts for 5 minutes in a low flame.

Repeat the same process with mixed seeds and desiccated coconut, sesame seeds and poppy seeds. Let them cool completely.

Add the mixed rosted nuts in a food processor fitted with the S-shaped blade. Process until almost roughly crushed. Take out all the nuts in a plate and set a side.

#NOTES:

#Mixed_Nuts:

We need to use 1/2 cup of mixed nuts in total. I have used the nuts, which I prefer. But you can replace either one with your choice of nuts.

#Roasting_The_Nuts:

Lightly roasted nuts are more flavorful than raw. And so I prefer roasted nuts over raw. But toasting nuts is optional you can skip that step and use raw nuts in the recipe.
#OR
If you want to use oven place the nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly toast the nuts at 350° F for 5 minutes.

#Dates:

Medjool dates are my favorite. They are more naturally sweetened than other varieties. Also, they are large, juicy, and very soft. But you can use your favorite dates.

#For_Hard/#Dry_Dates:

Soak hard or dry dates in warm water for at least 10-12 minutes. And drain them well before using them in the recipe.
