Ingredients:

1 ½ cup dried figs (anjeer)

How to Make Anjeer Halwa:

Soak the chopped figs in warm water for 2–3 hours until soft. Drain the water and blend the figs into a smooth paste using a mixer.

Heat some ghee in a pan. Add the fig paste and cook for 7–8 minutes until it starts leaving the sides of the pan.

Add khoya to the cooked fig paste and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Add sugar (or jaggery/brown sugar if you like) and continue cooking until the halwa becomes thick and smooth.

Add cardamom powder, chopped nuts, raisins, and saffron strands. Mix for 2–3 more minutes.

Once thick, garnish with extra nuts and switch off the heat.
