How to Make Dry Fruit and Nut Roll

• Chop the nuts. Finely chop half the quantity of figs and dates.
• Sprinkle some water on the remaining figs and heat in a microwave for a couple of minutes.
• Grind the cooked figs and dates with as little water as required into a smooth paste.
• Grind around 1/2 cup of the chopped nuts into a fine powder.
• Heat ghee in wide, non-stick pan. Add the date-fig mixture. Cook on medium heat, stirring often to ensure the mixture doesn't scorch.
• Cook until the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan and starts to come together. Remove from the heat and add palkova/khova and mix well.
• Add the nut powder, a little at a time, and as much as you need to make the mixture less sticky. Knead with your hands or a strong wooden spoon.
• Add the chopped nuts, figs and dates and mix thoroughly.
• Place a portion of the mixture on a sheet of cling film or clean sheet of plastic.
• Form into a log around 1.5 inches across. Prepare three such logs, each around 8-9 inches long.
• Wrap up well in the plastic sheet and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight.
• Cut the log into roundels of desired thickness.
• Keep refrigerated if you want firm pieces or keep it out if you do not mind slightly sticky ones.
