Delightful fried dates

What say you on the issue below?

Dates are a must-have for the breaking of fast in Ramadan. They are easy to eat, as they need no preparation and are perfectly good on their own.

But, fried dates are more interesting – just like pisang goreng (banana fritters), they are crispy outside and soft and sweet on the inside.

Yummy: Dates are more fragrant and soft when they are fried.

I first got to know about this delightful treat from a Muslim friend who prepares it for her family, and ever since then, I have been hooked on it!

It is also a good way to eat very dry dates as the frying helps to soften them.
