\"Dates
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

What could be a more delirious combination than a cashew encased in a sweet date. To my mind, nothing! Cashew-date is a pure, natural treat, and has particularly been a long tradition in Hyderabad region (Charminar area). A favorite at tens of small shops specializing in dates, dates with cashews is prepared by stuffing sweet, moist dates with fresh cashews. When you take a bite, first you would get the caramel like date and then the cashew, which balances and enhances the date experience. It’s a pleasant mini jugalbandi. Vijay and I, we both enjoy cashew-dates.<\/p>\n

I think it would be refreshing to eat something uncooked, raw as it is given by the earth at the end of a meal before leaving the table. I believe that’s why fruit is served at the end of traditional meal. A date with cashew is another succulent way to conclude the meal with the sweet taste of Mother Earth.<\/p>\n

\"Date
\nA Date with Cashew ~ for Chandrika’s Date Event<\/a><\/font><\/center><\/p>\n

How:<\/strong>
\nMoist and sweet dates – pits removed
\ncashews – whole, raw (or unsalted, roasted ones)
\n****
\nGently push the cashew into the date, in place of pit.
\nIf the dates are on the firm side, warm them in a oven\/microwave for five seconds to soften. This will make the dates pliable and placing cashews will be easy. (This works on firm dates, trust me). Store them in a box, or wrap each one like a candy.
\nNatural pick-me uppers and also make a sweet gift to share with friends and family.
