Notes
I used the dry fruits soaked in orange juice for this recipe. Checkout the detailed procedure of soaking dry fruits .
Used the juice from the soaked fruits themselves.
You can make fresh orange juice and soak the fruits and use them.
I used raisins, dates, fig, tutti frutti, and cherries.
You can use 1-1.5 cups of dry fruits for this recipe if you prefer more dry fruits.
I used Mixed spice which is homemade. If you don't have it you can use cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg.
