First, deseed the dates (Khajur) & make small pieces from it and keep aside.
In a large kadai heat 1 tbsp ghee and roast chopped cashew, almonds and pistachio.
As soon as the mixture becomes a light pinkish color and crunchy, switch the heat off.
Add desiccated coconut and dry fruits powder and continue to stir for a further minute to temper the residual heat.
The mixture will be extremely hot and it will continue to cook even after you switch the heat off.
Watch my video to see these stages.
To the same kadahi, add remaining ghee and dates and mash gently.
Keep stirring till it gets really soft and leaves the sides.
Once it looks soft and perfectly cooked, add in the sonth powder (dry ginger powder) and mix well.
Add the roasted nuts and dried rose petals and again mix it well.
Once all mixed well turn of the gas.
Quickly pour the mixture into the greased tray.
Lightly press the mixture in with a spatula, ensuring the surface is as even as you can get it.
Garnish it with roasted dry fruits and rose petals.
Allow the mixture to cool off a little and then make square pieces of khajur pak using knife.
Once cooled completely, take the pieces in an air-tight container.
It stays good for about a month at room temperature.
