Instant Dates & Oats Kheer

The Holy Bibble Calls Dates as the "Tree of Life" & the Holy Quran says "It's the blessing from Paradise". Even if one is not looking at the health benefits, dates taste so yummmm & delicious that one cant refrain from consuming it.

Since childhood I have seen Muslim families using dates extravagantly during the month of Ramazan. Infact they break their fast with this fruit. And I must admit the ripe, soft & juicy dates is something to die for.
