Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.
Prepare Ingredients
Gather all ingredients: one peeled clove of desi garlic, a piece of ginger (approximately the same size as the garlic clove, unpeeled), two green cardamom pods, a pinch of ajwain, two cloves, three black peppercorns, a pinch of Amba Haldi, dates, and honey.
Crush Spices and Herbs
Place the peeled garlic clove, ginger piece, green cardamom pods, ajwain, cloves, black peppercorns, and Amba Haldi into a mortar. Crush them thoroughly until a fine mixture is formed.
Fill the Dates
Carefully make a slit in each date and remove the pit. Fill each date with a small amount of the crushed spice and herb mixture.
Arrange and Soak in Honey
Place the filled dates into a clean glass jar. Pour enough honey over the dates to completely submerge them.
Infuse and Store
Allow the dates to infuse in the honey for at least 15-20 days. If concerned about spoilage due to the fresh ginger and garlic, store the jar in the refrigerator.
Consume
Consume one filled date daily after breakfast to help alleviate fatigue, weakness, stomach issues, headaches, and strengthen muscles.
