Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Roast Nuts and Seeds

   Heat 1 tsp ghee in a pan. Add half cup chopped almonds, half cup chopped cashews, 1/4th cup chopped walnuts, 3 tbsp pumpkin seeds, 3 tbsp chopped pistachios, and 2 tbsp sunflower seeds. Roast on low flame until the nuts and seeds turn crunchy. Keep them aside.

2. 2.Prepare Dates Paste

   Take 1.5 cups of seedless dates (Medjool dates are recommended) and blend them into a smooth paste. Ensure there are no large chunks.

3. 3.Cook Dry Fruits and Dates Paste

   In the same pan, add another 1 tsp ghee. Add 2 chopped anjeer (figs) and 2 tbsp raisins. Roast on low flame until they turn aromatic. Then, add the prepared dates paste to the pan. Cook on medium flame, mashing and stirring continuously, until the paste turns glossy and smooth.

4. 4.Combine Ingredients

   Add the roasted nuts and seeds mixture to the dates paste in the pan. Sprinkle half tsp cardamom powder. Mix everything well on low flame until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a cohesive mixture.

5. 5.Shape the Roll

   Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once it's cool enough to handle, shape it into a cylindrical roll. Sprinkle roasted poppy seeds on a piece of parchment paper and roll the mixture over it to evenly coat the dry fruit roll.

6. 6.Refrigerate to Set

   Wrap the dry fruit roll tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring it is well-sealed. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set completely, which will make slicing easier.

7. 7.Slice and Serve

   Once the roll is completely set, unwrap it from the aluminum foil. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into thick, even slices. Serve and enjoy your healthy and energy-rich dry fruit roll.
