Oat Mittai with Fruit and Nuts is a modern Indian recipe for little sweet cakes made from a blend of toasted oats, nuts and fruit bound with sugar that are typically served for Diwali.
Ingredients:
6 tbsp oats
6 tbsp sugar
10 almonds or cashew nuts
6 dates
10 raisins
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Method:
Place a non-stick pan over low heat, add the oats and toast lightly for about 3 minutes. Turn onto a plate and set aside.
Chop the dates, raisins and nuts into tiny pieces and set aside.
Place the sugar in a large pan, set over medium heat and allow to melt without stirring then continue cooking until it caramelizes a light brown. Add the chopped nuts and fruit along with the vegetable oil then stir to combine and cook for 1 minute over low heat.
Sprinkle the oats over the top of the mixture and allow to cook without stirring for 10 seconds. After this time stir the mixture for between two or three minutes, or until the oats are thoroughly coated in the caramel mixture.
Take the pan off the heat and quickly shape the mixture into your preferred shapes (a jar lid is a good mould).
