You are so creative in using dates as a filling for the obbattu. Pics are making me to drool as usual.

Wow Sia, I have never heard of figs obbattu and glad that I learnt it here. Bele obbattu and Kai obbattu were the only ones in my repetoire. Pics and the story is beautiful as always!

dates obatu looks to sweetly tempting. It must taste fab. Never had anything like this, so it calls for a trial. Thanks for the recipe.

Sia - this khajur obbattu looks delicious! I could easily pack a few for snacks every day. K is indeed very lucky.<BR/><BR/>We are off to bharat next week - so perhaps when I return, we will make this at home.<BR/><BR/>in the meantime, I'll salivate :-)

Hey Sia, this should be a yummy treat. Will surely try it. Dates have lots of fibre so this is a health dessert too. So unique. Thx for sharing

Dates as a filling must be just wonderful Sia... and it definitely does not look like a first-timer.. They look just perfect.
