Walnut Halwa



Ingredients:
Walnut - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 5 tsp
Complan - 2 tsp
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
Cashews - 10 (roasted)

Method:
Lightly toast the walnuts, cool and powder them.
Now add little water to the walnut powder to form a thick batter.
In a non-stick pan, add 2 tsps of ghee and add this batter.
Start to fry the batter till it becomes thick (medium flame).
At this stage, add the sugar and mix well.
Stir continuously till it becomes thick.
Now add the complan and mix well.
Add the remaining ghee, cardamom powder, cashews and stir.
When the halwa leaves the side of the pan, remove and place it on a well greased plate or vessel.
Cool and enjoy the halwa!

hii.i tried it. it was very tasty but became sticky. how to avoid the stikiness?

Hi Anon! To avoid the stickiness of the halwa, make sure that the halwa leaves from the side of the pan (at the centre, it should form like a soft ball) and ghee should be released from the halwa.

Immediately pour the halwa on a greased plate. Let it cool completely. This should help avoid the stickiness. Hope it helps!
