Today's recipe Batheeth - Dates crumble from Emirati cuisine. This is very easy delicious recipe with zero added sugar. This recipe is prepared using wheat flour, dates paste as main ingredients with the flavors of cardamom and ginger powder added in it. Almonds and sesame seeds added in this gives good nutty taste. We can serve this as dates crumble or as balls or cookies that is rolled in sesame or almonds or pistachios(chopped). Today I am sharing the crumbled version, we can also mold it as balls too. Wheat flour is fried till it changes color which gives good nutty flavors to this Batheeth. I just like recipes that are prepared using dates, my daily routine drink dates and nuts ragi malt is my all time favorite. As dates boots our energy, good for bone health, it promotes heart health and many more. The modern diet of the UAE is multi cultural, it shares similarities from neighboring countries like Oman, Saudi, also Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines(info from wiki).
