Ranginak is highly rich in nutrients and possesses dietetic values. Therefore, it can be a proper option for your breakfast, brunch or even as a healthy snack. Owing to its natural energy, the dessert has a special place in Iftar (a meal by which Muslims break their fasting). Moreover, for those people suffering from low blood pressure, Ranginak can be a superb choice.
In 2017 (1396 based on the Iranian calendar), the biggest Ranginak was made in Bushehr which brought a Guinness World Record for Iran.

There are different types of Ranginak, here is the one that we are going to prepare:

Wheat flour (all-purpose flour): 400 gr
Pitted Date: 400 gr
Toasted Walnut: 110 gr
Cinnamon powder: 1 tablespoon
Grated Pistachio: 1 tablespoon
Cardamom powder: 1 teaspoon
Oil or butter: as much as necessary
For garnish: Rose petals, shredded (grated) coconut
Step 1:
First of all stuff the dates with roasted walnut.
Step 2:
Now you need to toast the flour for a few minutes to get rid of the raw smell of flour. When done, add butter and stir constantly until it is golden brown and liquid. Avoid overcooking as it might taste bitter. When the mix is cooled down add cardamom and cinnamon.
Step3:
Spread half of the flour mix on the serving plate. Put the stuffed dates on them in a single layer. You can flatten them with pressure (optional). Pour the rest of the flour mix on top of the dates. Garnish it with rose petals and grated coconut (optional). Let it aside to cool and then serve it.
