Anjeer Barfi

Anjeer Barfi is a rich, nutrient-dense sweet treat made from dried figs blended with a variety of nuts and seeds. This barfi features a delightful mix of cashews, almonds, and walnuts combined with the natural sweetness of figs. Desiccated coconut adds a tropical flavor, while chia seeds and cardamom powder enhance both texture and taste. The mixture is pressed into a tray and chilled until firm, creating a satisfying, chewy confection that’s perfect for a nutritious festive dessert.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 100 grams dried figs (anjeer)
• 50 grams cashews
• 50 grams almonds
• 30 grams walnuts
• 50 grams desiccated coconut
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 1-2 tablespoons water

Procedure:

• Soak cashews and almonds in water for a few hours or overnight to soften.
  Drain and pat dry.
• In a food processor, blend the dried figs until they form a paste.
  Add the soaked and drained cashews, almonds, walnuts, and blend until the mixture is finely ground but still has some texture.
• Mix in the desiccated coconut, chia seeds, and cardamom powder. Blend briefly until combined.
• If the mixture is too dry, add water, a little at a time, until it holds together when pressed.
  Press the mixture into a lined or greased tray, spreading it evenly to about 1/2 inch thickness. Refrigerate the mixture for 1-2 hours until firm.
• Cut into small squares or pieces and serve.
