Changmaal is a great snack or meal for all ages especially kids and elderlies. You can take it for midnight supper or Iftar during Ramadan.
The reason for using Kali dates in this dish is because of the fleshy and soft texture of this type of dates as well as its moderate sweetness. They are also great sources of fiber, minerals and vitamins.
Traditional Kermani break called Kapoo can also be a good substitute for Sehen flour. In Jiroft, it is very popular to have Changmaal for dinner. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you can use margarine or vegetable oil to roast the dates.
