Such a wonderful day isn’t it!!
Yesterday was too :D. I have been craving for a sweet called Fateetah for a long while, it is a super healthy yummy Bahraini sweet, so I decide to make my little dream true and make my own Fateetah for the first time –Oh by the way I am good cook ;)– sooo, after a long day of redecorating the living room, I checked if I have everything set for the sweet and I was super happy that everything is ready for it…
Well if you are wondering how my first time trial turned, I would tell you it was yummy, I enjoyed it as a breakfast for today morning…
For those who would like to try a super healthy sweet, here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1KG Good quality dates (Don’t use the totally dried one, there is a typed that comes with lots of dates syrup, this is what you are looking for)
1cup of brown flour
1/2 Cup Sesame
1/4 Cup walnuts
1/4 Almond (I like to use the lemon flavor; you can use anything)
A bit of sunflower or corn oil
How to make it:
Super easy :D
Remove the seeds from the dates and set aside.
Use a big pot and put it on the stove.
Put the sesame and brown it until the color turns to something similar to the egg yolk.
Once the sesame is the color you want put in the flour and brown as well until the color is beautiful golden.
If you like to brown the nuts you can add it with the flour, if not leave it to last, I added it with the flour right away.
Once the flour is the color you want add the dates and keep mixing until the dates is totally mixed with the flour, you should not be able to see flour or dates alone, this is how it turns to Fateetah
If you did not add the nuts with the flour, then you can add it once everything totally mixed together.
Add a bit of oil, something equal to 2tbs and mix. And voila ready to eat
Note the following: all ingridant are subject to your taste, if you like more flour in you can increase it, more nuts more sesame it is totally up to you, you enjoy what you like. And also you can add some spices like a teaspoon of cardamom, or nutmeg.
And bon appetite
