Dates Balls are my all-time favorite sugar free dessert. It is loaded with pistachios and almonds giving it the crunch in every bite.
Why do you want to let go the besan flour in your kitchen when you can make super yummy besan protein balls from it.
But yes the sauting part is too tiring but as the proverb says “No pain No gain” After around 20 minutes of sauting the flour without getting it burnt in ghee/ oil a nice aroma fills your kitchen and everybody comes into the kitchen asking “Mumma wads in the pan” Yes that the joy of cooking.
Ingredients required for the dates ball:
Dates: 250 gm
Pistachios: 50 gm
Almonds: 50gm
