I had bought a big bag of anjeer from Costco. Initially, we all enjoyed them as they were. However, later, they were sitting in my fridge, and as we got bored of eating them as is, I decided to make good use of the last remaining anjeer. I gave it a try, and everyone liked it. However, my daughter wanted it coated in chocolate. So, I bought some chocolate, melted it, and poured it over the anjeer, spreading it evenly. It turned out to be a hit!
How to make Anjeer Burfi :
Start by soaking the anjeer in water. Pulse the anjeer in the food processor and set it aside. Prepare the other ingredients listed. Begin by adding some ghee to the pan, then add the anjeer paste. Sauté for some time and follow with dates. Once the dates incorporate well into the anjeer, add all the dry fruits and give it a mix. The paste should leave the pan while mixing, indicating that all the water content is absorbed, ensuring a good shelf life. Press this mixture onto a greased plate, shaping it gently as desired, and allow it to cool completely. Pour some melted chocolate over the burfi and spread it evenly. Allow it to set in the fridge, then cut it into the desired shape and enjoy.
