Walnut Halwa

My sweet sil Thuri comes from the family that makes the best mithai, and she was so kind to share the recipe of this delicious Walnut Halwa made by her beautiful mom

Walnuts are a good source of healthy fats and they’re as good eaten plain but don’t we all love something abit next level once in awhile eh?

Such a delicious treat that can be made easily using the most comforting ingredients

You could definitely use condensed milk or sugar instead but I opted for Kithul jaggery this time as we prefer that flavour..

Ingredients

Three Cups Walnuts
Two Cups Ghee/Clarified Butter
Two Cups Milk Powder
One Cup Grated Jaggery melted with 1/2 cup water and cardamom powder
One Cup Milk

First let’s prep the ingredients

Step One

Soak the walnuts in milk for at least one hour.

Strain the mixture

Blend the nuts coarsely leaving the milk for later

Step Two

Mix the milk powder with one cup water and one tbsp ghee.You could either use your fingers or put them into a food processor

Set this mixture aside, till you get the rest of the ingredients ready

You could also use khoya for this recipe

Step Three

Melt the grated jaggery in a saucepan, with water and crushed cardamom pods.This has to be warm before using otherwise its gets hard, so make this when you’re about make the halwa.
