Prep: 35 min | Cook: 20 min | Total: 1 hr 5 min

Cost: $13.45 total, $1.12 per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 kg All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
  • 0.5 kg Ghee (melted, unsalted)
  • 250 g Sweetened Condensed Milk (full‑fat, canned)
  • 200 g Dates, Pitted (chopped finely)
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon (freshly ground if possible)
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cardamom (freshly ground)
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (sifted for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Make the dough

    In a large mixing bowl combine 1 kg sifted all‑purpose flour, 0.5 kg melted ghee, and 250 g sweetened condensed milk. Mix with a wooden spoon until a uniform, slightly sticky dough forms.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Chill the dough

    Shape the dough into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes (or 15 minutes in the freezer) until firm.

    Time: PT15M

  3. Knead to smooth texture

    Remove the chilled dough from the fridge, let it sit 2 minutes, then knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and pliable, about 8‑10 minutes.

    Time: PT10M

  4. Prepare the date filling

    In a small bowl combine 200 g chopped dates, 1 tablespoon melted ghee, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon ground cardamom. Mix until the dates are evenly coated.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Shape and fill the cakes

    Roll the dough out to about 0.5 cm thickness. Cut circles roughly 8 cm in diameter. Place a teaspoon of the date mixture in the centre, fold the edges, seal, and roll into a ball slightly smaller than the original dough circle. Place each ball into a greased cake mold, press gently, then flip so the seam is on the bottom.

    Time: PT15M

  6. Bake

    Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) with both top and bottom heat. Arrange the molds on a baking sheet and bake for 18‑20 minutes, or until the cakes turn a light golden brown.

    Time: PT20M

    Temperature: 180°C

  7. Cool and garnish

    Remove the cakes from the oven, let them cool completely on a rack (about 10 minutes). Once cool, dust generously with sifted powdered sugar.

    Time: PT10M
