Anjeer Dry Fruit Ball

Anjeer (fig)–based sweets trace their roots to India’s long history of dried-fruit confections, influenced by Persian and Central Asian trade routes that popularized nut- and fruit-dense mithai. Over time, regions across western and northern India—especially Gujarat and Maharashtra—embraced anjeer sweets for festivals, gifting, and fasting (vrat) menus because they rely on the natural sweetness and rich texture of dried figs and nuts. The bite-sized “dry fruit ball” format is a modern evolution of the classic anjeer roll/barfi, prized for clean ingredients, festive presentation, and satisfying indulgence without heavy syrups.

Each Anjeer Dry Fruit Ball offers a chewy, naturally sweet fig base studded with crunchy nuts for a layered bite—soft and fudgy at first, then delightfully nutty. You’ll see a speckled cross-section of almonds, cashews, and pistachios bound by anjeer (and sometimes dates), lightly scented with cardamom. Shaped into neat, bite-sized rounds, they’re often finished with pistachio dust, almond slivers, or a touch of edible silver vark for a celebratory look—perfect for elegant dessert trays and gifting.

Anjeer Dry Fruit Ball is best enjoyed fresh within a day at room temperature. If refrigerated, it can stay fresh for 3-5 days. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If refrigerated, allow it to come to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to experience its optimal texture and flavor.
