Winters are warm and cozy! Aren’t they?
What I love about winter is to taste of abundant of dry fruits available- almonds, cashew nuts, apricots, date palms , etc. Not only do they taste great but keep you mellow from inside out. Now to talk about that star of today’s recipe- Date palms or Khajur- is a great source of iron. The Sweet dish that I am making today is Khajur barfi or Khajur Rolls. A mouthful of this scrumptious barfi or roll is such a delight and you will instantly fall in love with it. Not to forget it’s various health benefits. Surprise your folks with this simple recipe and win stomach! (Oh! I mean Hearts!)
