Nutty Fruity Oats Mittai

Ingredients

• Oats – 6 tbsp
• Sugar – 3 tbsp
• Almonds / cashew nutss – 10
• Dates – 6
• Raisins – 10
• Veg oil – 1 tbsp

Method

• Lightly roast the oats: for about 3 minutes in a low flame.
• Chop the dates, raisin and nuts into tiny pieces.
• Caramelise the sugar – place the sugar in a flat aluminium pan, let it melt and turn light brown.
• Add the chopped fruits and nuts and veg oil and cook for 1 minute in low flame.
• Spread it evenly in the pan.
• Sprinkle the roasted oats evenly on the fruit and nut mixture and let it stay for 10 seconds.
• Mix the mixture thoroughly for about two – three minutes till the oats is thoroughly coated with the caramel mixture.
• Turn off heat. Quickly shape the mixture into preferred shapes.
• I used the lid of a tiny bottle to make the shape. Use it after the mittais cool completely to get a crunchy consistency. Yields 20 mittais.
