These rolls have crunchy pastry covering with a sweet dates and nuts filling inside…This is perfect munching treat for those who loves dates and nuts…dates and nuts have a great combination that goes well together…..I have eaten the dates roll with the nuts but when its filled inside a pastry roll it enhances its taste…
Here i have used only cashew , pistachio and almonds .. as these three go well with dates…you can add any other dry fruits to your taste….. dry fruits /nuts selected should be of good quality …you can find wide range of these nuts in online store place of origin . This place is the availability of all “dry fruits” in one place…
