Dates Burfi is a delectable fudge ideal for all occasions. Be it a get-together or a family function, this sweet is ideal and loved by all. Moreover, a guilt-free treat for all the sweet lovers.
I am extremely happy and its one of those cherished moments , my blog www.evergreendishes.com has turned two today. A journey I embarked after much thought, the hit of the button and the message read “Congrats for choosing us !” from the hosting service, was a shock for a moment, if I could ever do such a thing and soon things paved way. Well , since then the journey has been a wonderful experience. I am thankful to one and all for the support. And as a token of appreciation and celebration I bring to you the decadent Dates Burfi.
Dates are a good source of dietary fibre, antioxidants and essential minerals as potassium and manganese. The American Diabetic Society suggests that eating food rich in anti oxidants may help prevent cancer, diabetes ,heart disease and even Alzeihmer’s. Further, another study states that fibre rich diet is found to help reduce obesity, stroke, heart disease and hypertension.
The addition of nuts gives taste along with the benefits of proteins and minerals. Dates Burfi are one of the major attractions that we see in the sweets stall. They are called by different names as Dates Roll or dry fruit burfi. Sugar is not needed here in the preparation, thus it can be easily consumed by all. Thus it can be given to all but moderation is the key.
A sweet for all for any occassion. Dates Burfi or Dry fruit burfi is tasty and ideal for any celebrations.
