This is a classic Pakistani sweetmeat that is typically served as a sweet treat or at the end of the meal with tea.

Ingredients:

500g dates (khajoor)
500g fresh mawa (also known as Khoya)
450g sugar
250ml milk
blanched almonds and raw cashew nuts, to decorate

Method:

Pit the dates then combine in a wok (or kadai) with the milk. Heat, stirring constantly, until all the dates break down and melt.

Add the sugar, allow to dissolve then continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick.

Grate the mawa and stir this into the date mixture. Continue cooking and stirring over low heat until the mixture is thick enough to set as it cools (think thick toffee).

Grease a large plate or baking tray and pour in the date mixture. Spread evenly then top with the almonds and cashew nuts. Set aside to cool and harden then cut into squares and serve or store in an air-tight container.
