Notes

  1. Nuts and oats flour can also be dry roasted. Roast the nuts to avoid raw smell
  2. Sugar/Jaggery can be used instead if sugar. Prepare the sugar syrup with little water and add the flour mixture and cook till it keaves the pan
  3. Apple sauce,Mango puree or any fruit puree can be replaced with dates syrup
  4. Store brought dates syrup can also be used
