I want to add dates. Should I first dry roast the dates pieces then add this to the oats mixture?
No, you do not have to dry roast dates. Chop it finely and grind with the oats mixture. If you are adding dates, reduce the amount of jaggery and ghee.

No, even if you add dates, it will stay good for a month. Avoid using wet hands.
