While talking with my sister and my cousins last weekend, they all had asked me to share the recipes for some healthy snacks that can be made during Ramadan. Since then, I have been thinking and researching on healthy snacks. Today, I tried making a snack with plantain and dates. Plantain and dates are my favorites, and they both are packed with all good nutrients and are quite healthy too. I mashed the plantain along with dates and coconut, made into a dough. Stuffed the almond into the cutlet and ghee roasted it after coating it with egg and coconut. The aroma that came out while the cutlets were roasting in the ghee was so seducing and the cutlets tasted incredible.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing everyone a Happy Ramadan!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Almond Stuffed
