As part of our series on healthy Diwali recipes we present the date and walnut mithai. This fuss-free delicacy is not too high in calories as it is completely devoid of sugar. Instead dates have been added as they contain plenty of fibre and natural sugar while walnuts are rich in linoleic acid which have been proven to be helpful to strengthen the arteries of the heart. Preparation Time: a few mins Cooking Time: Nil Makes 8 pieces Ingredients Black seedless dates 1/2 cup Roasted walnuts (akhrot) 2 tbsp Cardamom (elaichi) powder 1/4 tsp Method Knead the dates into smooth dough.
