Wishing an advance EID MUBARAK to all my muslim readers and friends!
This week insha’Allah muslims all over the world will be celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr. Can you believe Ramadan has ended, how quickly does  Ramadan pass by every year. May Allah accept our siyam, qiyam and all other ‘ibadah that we do for His sake, ameen! Taqabbalallâhu minnâ wa minkum. May Allah accept from you and us, our fasts and deeds.  Ameen 
There is also an  another reason to celebrate. My blog turned   this last month Alhamdulillah. I can’t believe its been one month since I started this little blog of mine. Masha’Allah!! Thank you everyone for being a part of my journey.   I haven’t been able to blog as regularly as I used to. But Insha’Allah I will continue to blog and share my recipe with you all for a long time. Your support and encouragement means lot to me
Khajoor Rolls – Date Rolls (Sugar Free)
Ingredients:
Pitted Dates – 2 cup, tightly packed
Dried Figs – 3/4 cup
Raisins – 1/8 cup
Cashew nuts – 1/4 cup
Pistachios – 1/4 cup
Almonds – 1/4 cup
Desiccated Coconut – 2-3 tbsp

Method:
1. In a food processor, add the pitted dates and dried figs. Process until it is a sticky pasty ball. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
2. Add the dry fruits and nuts to a chopping board and chop them all up roughly. Add these chopped dry fruits and nuts to the dates and fig mixture and mix well.
3. On a chopping board, shape the mixture into a log about 3 inch in diameter. Sprinkle desiccated coconut and roll the log in it to cover the entire thing with coconut.
4. Refrigerate the prepared log for 1-2 hours. Then just before serving, slice them into discs using a sharp knife. Serve. These can also be stored in the refrigerator for a long time in an air tight container with lid.
Note:
1. Instead of using desiccated coconut, you can use icing sugar or warq.
2. You can add a variety of other dry fruits and nuts that you love instead of using them ones I have listed above.
3. You can also use dark chocolate chips, oats, ground flax, chia seeds, a little bit of orange juice or lemon juice, vanilla powder or cinnamon powder etc whatever you fancy to mix with the dates.
4. Instead of shaping them into logs and then cutting into slices, you can roll them into small balls and serve in gorgeous cupcake liners as date truffles to impress the guests. Or you can even shape in the form of Barfi.
