Ranginak ( The Coloured Dates)
Ingredients:
Dates: as many as they cover the small plate ( or as many as you want as your plate goes)
Flour: wheat flour or rice flour: we ourselves use wheat flour, 3 tablespoons
Oil: ( in this city we have special oil that enhance its taste) 1 tablespoon
Cinnamon: as enough as it cover its surface a bit!
Walnut: each date needs half of a walnut or so, to be included in
First prepare dates and set them in your plate in this way: take the nuclues ( stone..dont know what you call it) out of each date and full each with walnut; dont full them with wlnuts too much that the sides of dates cant come together again!
Now set them in your plate and put away it somehwre
Now its turn for preparing the fluer. Now suate 3 tablespoons with that 1 oil tablespoon in a frying pan as far as the colour of the fluer donesnt change so much; the uating should lasts only 1 min or so!
So now cover the palte of your dates with this half suated fluer! And then add cinnamon as you see in picture
Enjoy!...its taste is awfuly delicious lol
