Date Balls

---

Date balls are processed dates stirred with flour then cooked in thick coconut milk until cooked and thickened into a savory and delicious sauce that can be enjoyed after enjoying heavy dishes during certain events.

Well in my area, dishes like this are indeed a mainstay of our family during the fasting month like yesterday. But after the Eid celebration we usually fast again for 6 days known as Shawwal fasting. Therefore, I took the initiative to make sweet food like this date compote.
