It's unnecessary to mentioned the Holy name as your expression, it cling to my ears. It's a bad habit and it's a sin! it's in a 2nd commandment " Though shall not call the name of God in vain.You make the Holy name as your joke, is there any funny on your joke? I advice you to do the research of 10 commandments and what it means? Show reverence to our Creature!

Hi maneesha, you can use whatever fruits and nuts available to you. But just make it a total of 600g (about 4 cups). I did not put those amounts because anyone should be able to use whatever the dried fruits or nuts they have in any amount. Just make them colourful, crunch or soft! Hope this helps. ❤️
