About Walnut Halwa

Ingredients

Methods

Nutrient values

Walnuts are cooked with rawa, ghee and sugar and flavoured with cardamom to make a delicious, quick and scrumptious halwa.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 tbsp semolina (rava / sooji)

1/2 cup sugar

3 tbsp ghee

1 cup walnuts (akhrot) , crushed

1/3 cup milk

1/2 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder

For The Garnish

1/4 cup coarsely crushed walnuts (akhrot)

Method

Handy tip:

Cook the walnuts on a very slow flame or else they tend to burn and emit an off flavour.

Combine ½ cup water and sugar in a deep bowl, mix well and cook till the syrup is made of one string consistency.
Meanwhile, heat the ghee in a non-stick kadhai and add the semolina and sauté over a slow flame for a minute.
Add the walnuts and cook over a slow flame, stirring continuously, till the mixture turns golden brown. (approx. 15 minutes).
Add the sugar syrup a little at a time, while stirring continuously and cook on a slow flame till the mixture becomes dry.
Add the milk, mix well and cook on a slow flame for another 10 minutes.
Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
Serve hot garnished with walnuts.

Hi Shaun, the rava mentioned in the recipe is 1 table spoon, it adds slight crunch to the halwa. Do try the recipe and let us your feedback.. Happy Cooking!!
