Another no sugar sweet but still sweet haha! Diwali shopping is at its peak, really love new style diyas in the market, very colourful n catchy! This recipe is very easy to make though preparation time takes a little longer, but tastes good. I have used dried dates but you can  use any dates you have. Hope you will like it!!

2 cups dates (dried)
1\2 cup raisins

water as required

Method
1. Boil milk and reduce it to 2 1\2 cups . Your condensed milk is ready.

2 Meanwhile soak raisins and dates in warm water for 1\2 an hour (if using other dates, skip soaking dates). Deseed and chop dates.

3. Blend dates and raisins into a smooth paste. Add enough water for smooth blending.

4. In a pan, heat ghee and cook the paste for 5 minutes.

5. Now add condensed milk and cook till the mix thickens.
