Dry Fruit & Seed Bites

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pistachios
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1/2 cup dates, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 tbsp flax seeds
• 1-2 tsp desi ghee (clarified butter)

Instructions:

1. Roast the Nuts: Heat 1-2 tsp of ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add pistachios, cashews, walnuts, and almonds. Roast for 5-6 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
2. Roast the Seeds: In the same pan, add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. Roast for 1-2 minutes until they’re lightly toasted. Set aside.
3. Chop & Combine: Finely chop some of the nuts and leave some roughly chopped for a crunchy texture. In a large bowl, combine the chopped nuts, seeds, dates, and raisins. Mix thoroughly.
4. Set & Slice: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press down firmly to form an even layer. Refrigerate for at least an hour until set.
5. Cut into Bites: Once set, cut into cubes or your preferred size. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
