Date Balls...
Date balls or khajoor balls, is one of the Eid special dishes Fatee makes every year. She makes one more variation of it but I liked this one better. I will ask her to make the other one as well and let you lot decide which one is better for you :-)
Ingredients:
* Dry dates (khajoor) 20-25
* Milk 1 cup
* Khoya or Barfi 250 gms
* Desiccated cocunut 2 tbsp
Procedure:
Soak dates overnight in water.
Chop them into small pieces and cook them with milk till all the milk is absorbed by the dates.
Add khoya/barfi to the dates and cook for 5 mins on medium heat.
Blend everything into a paste. Add sugar if needed.
Make balls and roll them in coconut. Serve chilled.
Hi Daagh
Just wondering where one can get khoya from or can one make it at home?

hi there
sorry for not being too clear...
no you dont have to try them... the dates when cooked turns dark brown...
if you are adding barfi then you dont need to add any sugar coz its sweet already... but if you are adding khoya then you might need to add some sugar... taste the dough and see if the sugar is just right... add if you need sweeter

you can use fresh dates instead of choowarey khajoor...
and use barfi mithai instead of khoya (or khoa) remember not to add sugar if you are using barfi
