15-18 sweet fresh dates

    3/4th cup milk
    1/2 cup oil
    1 cup Self-raising flour

    1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder/ baking soda
    Walnuts/ Almonds/ Cashews (optional)
    ½ cup Sugar (optional)

Procedure:

    1) De-seed the dates, and make a paste with a little milk in it in a blender
    2) Sift the flour, sugar(optional) and baking powder/ baking soda together. Baking soda will make it much more softer and fluffier than the powder
    3) Mix the oil, the sifted flour, the remaining milk and the date mix together, taking care to blend it in only one direction (either clockwise, anti-clockwise) with your hands.
    4) Apply some oil to a baking pan, and pour the batter in it. You may garnish it with almonds, walnuts or cashews as per your choice.

    5) Preheat the oven to 170 Degrees Celsius, and then bake for 30 minutes.

    6) Enjoy warm with some ice-cream.
