Ingredients

• 1/4 cup almonds
• 1/4 cup peanuts
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1/4 tsp carom seeds
• A pinch ginger powder
• 1 cup 100% Organic Jaggery

Method

1.For preparing the dry fruit bars, start by roughly crushing the almonds and peanuts separately in a mortar and pestle, ensuring not to grind them into a powder.

2.Moving on to the next step, crush the jaggery using the mortar and pestle too, until it achieves a fine consistency, ensuring all the delightful flavors of the jaggery are released for our dry fruit bars.

3. Heat ghee in a pan and lower the flame. Add the crushed almonds and roast them gently. Now add the crushed peanuts and roast them very lightly.

4. Add carom seeds, fennel seeds and ginger powder. Stir well.

5. Turn off the flame and add the jaggery immediately. Mix thoroughly till all the ingredients are well combined.

6. Spread the mixture on a flat greased dish and let it cool. When set, cut it into bars and store in an air tight container.

If stored well, these bars should last for weeks. Be very careful not to add the jaggery to the pan when it is on the flame. If you think it’s too sticky, place a sheet of baking paper before spreading the mixture. These bars are sweet and yummy, and nutrient dense – perfect to give your picky eater the energy he needs!
