Ingredients

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.
