    I am finally preparing some postpartum snacks with mom, before Baby V is here. These very delicious Khajur Anjeer Burfi's are perfect concoction of all the nuts to give me energy and help me recover post delivery. It is super easy to make because all you have to do is pulse all the dry fruits in the food processor, roast them in ghee and there you have it. Make either burfis or energy balls as you wish. Yes, it is that simple.

    Khajur Anjeer Burfi

    You must be thinking where to source the dried pitted medjool dates and figs, perhaps you can find them at your nearest Indian grocery store or on amazon. I am making this recipe for me as a postpartum snack. So I have added all the nuts, you can skip adding all the nuts I have used or add all of them. And it is really is up to you, but trust me if you decide to add all the nuts, than this burfi not only tastes delicious but also is very healthy.

    I am due in a week and I am so thrilled. I have craved sweets throughout my pregnancy. And, I mostly snacked on dates and figs. It amps up our blood and provides nutrients to the baby so it was definitely my go- to almost every single day during my pregnancy.

    I also make these during festivals, mostly at the time of Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali. This festive delicacy makes for a perfect gift, it is healthy, sugar free, gluten free and perfectly balanced.

    Benefits of Eating Dates and Figs Burfi

    • Super simple to Make
    • These are naturally sugar-free
    • It is packed with nuts, that gives you energy
    • The Poppy Seeds in the Burfi will help you recover with bone health post partum, especially will help to heal your back
    • The Khajur and Anjeer (dates and figs) are naturally rich source of Iron.
    • These Energy bites are great source of anti-oxidants and help with reducing postpartum hair loss.

    Is the Dates and Figs Nut Burfi Vegan?

    The recipe uses ghee aka clarified butter to toast the other nuts along with dates & figs. If you want to make these vegan, you can use coconut oil instead of ghee.

    Is this Recipe Gluten-Free?

    Absolutely, the recipe uses all the ingredients that are naturally gluten-free.

    3. Add the dates and figs and toast it in ghee until they soften.
    4. Now add in the toasted nuts and poppy seeds. Mix till they are incorporated
    5. Now place the mixture on an aluminum foil.
    6. Let it come to room temperature. Roll it into balls or make a log. If you are making logs, to make burfi, you will be able to make 2 logs.
    7. Roll them in toasted poppy seeds, pistachios and dried coconut powder.

    These are absolutely delicious, and I swear by them. My family loves these so much that I had made them and sent them to India once. Little niece of mine wouldn't even share it with anyone.

    So, If you make these, please don't forget to write me your feedback. I can't wait to hear from you. And if if you know someone who is going to deliver their baby soon, make these for them. They will love it.

    Equipment

    • Food Processor

    Ingredients

    • 1 Cup Almonds
    • 1 Cup Cashews
    • 1 Cup Walnuts
    • 1/2 Cup Pistachios
    • 2 Cups Dried Chopped Figs
    • 24 oz Pitted Dates
    • 5 Tbsp White Poppy Seeds 3 Tbsp's in the burfi + 2 Tbsp for topping
    • 4 Tbsp Ghee Coconut Oil (If you are making it vegan)

    For Toppings

    • 2 Tbsp Roasted White Poppy Seeds
    • 2 Tbsp Coconut Powder
    • 2 Tbsp Finely Chopped Pistachios

    Instructions

    • Add all the nuts to the food processor. Blend them until finely chopped. Keep them aside.
    • Now add the Figs and Dates, pulse until they for a paste like structure. Keep it aside.
    • In a pan add 5 Tbsp's white Poppy Seeds. Roast them until they turn light golden. Keep them in a separate bowl.
    • Now in the same pan add 2 Tbsp's ghee. Add the chopped nuts, toast the nuts until aromatic. Keep them aside.
    • Again, in the same pan add 2 Tbsp's ghee. Add dates and figs. Toast them until they soften. Once they soften add, the toasted nuts and poppy seeds. Mix them well.
    • Lay the layer of an aluminum foil on your kitchen island. Add the mix on it. Let it come to room temperature.
    • Either roll the balls and roll them into poppy seeds, coconut powder and crushed pistachios. Or Make two logs of the dry fruit mix, top it with poppy seeds, coconut powder and crushed pistachios

    Notes

    I personally don't like to soak the figs in milk or water. They reduce the shelf life of this snack. Also milk, gives a very unpleasant smell in these burfis. 
    Roughly chop the figs, before adding them to the food processor. And let the food processor or any high power blender do its job. 
    You can top the rolls with anything you like, mixed nut powder, poppy seeds, coconut powder, slivered nuts , dried rose petals, etc.

    My recipe is extremely simple to make, and absolutely delicious. If you have kids or adults at home, and you are looking for a way to feed them dried fruits this recipe is your best friend. Khajur and Anjeer have so many benefits and I can't emphasize enough for my readers to eat them everyday. I have consumed them almost every single day throughout my pregnancy, and literally I am a couple days away from delivering, yet on my feet getting the work done.

    Khajur (Dates) are anti- inflammatory, so I haven't had any swelling or pains for the most part. So clearly, it works. After all the medicines I have put in my body, because of fertility treatments, now I try to treat myself as naturally as possible.

    I always love to hear from my readers, because it gives me motivation to keep publishing new recipes every week. I will leave a contact form below, so it is easier for you to drop in and say hi!

    • 📌Air Fried Idlis📌

So many of you requested me to show you how I make air fried crispy idlis. Here’s how. But before that, my biggest tip to make these idlis is to use leftover idlis. 

I am using 6 leftover idlis, and for it I used 1 Tbsp oil. Lay them in a single layer in the air fryer, this will help them crisp up evenly. 

1. Cut the leftover idlis into equal sized wedges. 
2. Add them to a mixing bowl and add oil. Mix it with your hands. 
3. Preheat the Air Fryer on Roast setting for 400F for 1 minute.
4. Air fry the idlis in 2 batches, Add the idlis in a single layer and roast them at 400F for 12 mins. Give it a shake at 6 mins mark to make sure idlis crisp evenly.

    • Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story. 

I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side. 

I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU. 

So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten  better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

    • Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious! 

📌Recipe📌

🌱 For the Curry Base

• 1 Tbsp Oil
• 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
• 2 Green Cardamoms
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
• 1 Dried Red Chili
• 1 Medium Onion Sliced
• 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
• 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
• 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
• 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 8-10 Cashews

For The Curry

• 2 Tbsp Butter
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder 
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
• 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
• 1 Tsp Garam Masala
• 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
• Adjust Salt if needed

📌 step by step📌

1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown. 
3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften. 
4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base. 
5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency. 
6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt. 
7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft. 
8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
9. Serve hot!

    • Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again. 

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“ 

If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.

    📌Air Fried Idlis📌

    So many of you requested me to show you how I make air fried crispy idlis. Here’s how. But before that, my biggest tip to make these idlis is to use leftover idlis.

    I am using 6 leftover idlis, and for it I used 1 Tbsp oil. Lay them in a single layer in the air fryer, this will help them crisp up evenly.

    1. Cut the leftover idlis into equal sized wedges.
    2. Add them to a mixing bowl and add oil. Mix it with your hands.
    3. Preheat the Air Fryer on Roast setting for 400F for 1 minute.
    4. Air fry the idlis in 2 batches, Add the idlis in a single layer and roast them at 400F for 12 mins. Give it a shake at 6 mins mark to make sure idlis crisp evenly.

    Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story.

    I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side.

    I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU.

    So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

    Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious!

    📌Recipe📌

    🌱 For the Curry Base

    • 1 Tbsp Oil
    • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
    • 2 Green Cardamoms
    • 1 Bay Leaf
    • 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
    • 1 Dried Red Chili
    • 1 Medium Onion Sliced
    • 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
    • 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
    • 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
    • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
    • 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
    • 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
    • 1 Tsp Salt
    • 8-10 Cashews

    For The Curry

    • 2 Tbsp Butter
    • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder
    • 1 Tsp Salt
    • 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
    • 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
    • 1 Tsp Garam Masala
    • 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
    • Adjust Salt if needed

    📌 step by step📌

    1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown.
    3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften.
    4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base.
    5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency.
    6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt.
    7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft.
    8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
    9. Serve hot!

    Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again.

    “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“

    If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.
