Dates & Nuts Bites

Same family as our dry fruit ladu, different shape and a different moment. Dates are worked with whole almond, cashew and pistachio, rolled into a firm log, coated in seeds, then chilled and sliced into rounds.

The slice is what makes it — every bite shows a cross-section of nuts set in dark fruit, so it looks as good on a plate as it tastes. Portions are small and dense, which makes these easy to reach for at four in the afternoon.

Khajur and dry fruit bites like these are the ones that get finished before the ladus at home.
