Easy Steps

01

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a small loaf or cake tin with parchment paper and lightly grease with a few drops of groundnut oil.

02

Soak the Dates: In a saucepan, warm the milk slightly. Add chopped dates and let them soak for 10–15 minutes until soft. Blend into a smooth, thick paste.

03

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the date-milk paste, tahini paste, sesame paste, jaggery syrup, and groundnut oil. Whisk until creamy.

04

Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift in whole wheat atta and gently fold it into the wet mixture until well incorporated. Add a splash of milk if the batter feels too thick.

05

Add the Crunch: Stir in the chopped walnuts for that perfect nutty bite.

06

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool completely before slicing.
