• Walnuts: 1 cup
• Almonds: ½ cup
• Pistachios: ½ cup
• Desiccated coconut: ¼ cup (optional)
• Ghee (clarified butter): 1 tablespoon
• Cardamom powder: 1 teaspoon

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Preparing the Ingredients:

• Soak dried figs in warm water for 20-30 minutes to soften them.
• Chop figs and dates into small pieces for easy grinding.
• Dry roast walnuts, almonds, and pistachios on low flame until aromatic. Let them
cool and chop coarsely.

2. Grinding the Mixture:

• Blend the soaked figs and dates into a smooth paste using a food processor or
mixer.
• Add the roasted nuts and pulse briefly to retain a coarse texture for crunch.

3. Cooking the Mixture:

• Heat ghee in a non-stick pan over low flame.


• Add the fig-date paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
• Mix in cardamom powder and desiccated coconut (if using) for added flavor.
4. Shaping the Roll:

• Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of butter paper or aluminum foil.


• Grease your hands with a little ghee and shape the mixture into a cylindrical log.
• Roll the log tightly in the paper/foil and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to set.

5. Cutting and Serving:

• Once chilled, unwrap the roll and slice it into ½-inch thick rounds.
• Arrange on a plate and serve.

Tips for Perfect Fig and Walnut Roll

1. Use fresh, soft dates for easy blending. If dry, soak them in warm water for 10
minutes before use.
2. Adjust the ratio of nuts based on your preference.
3. Wrap the roll tightly to ensure it sets properly and holds its shape.

Variations

• Chocolate Fig Roll: Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture
for a chocolaty twist.
• Jaggery Roll: Replace dates with jaggery for a traditional flavor.
• Seed Mix: Include sunflower seeds, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for added nutrition and
texture.
