Anjeer roll has many names: fig roll, anjer barfi or badam anjeer roll, it is a treat that’s pleasing to the eyes, deliciously moist, tender and nutty with a hint of rose, cardamom. And it can be made at home easily. This stuffed fig roll is naturally sweet from the figs and is refined sugar free. Perfect for a diwali platter or sweet gift box.

Shopping for clothes was also so much fun. The stores would be so crowded that we hardly had space to turn around.
We might not be celebrating how we did back then, but I love to make sweets and savory snacks and give it to friends.
