Method
- 1
Roast the walnuts
Heat the ghee in a heavy pan and add the ground walnuts. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 8–10 minutes until fragrant and lightly toasted.
- 2
Add milk
Pour in the milk gradually, stirring to avoid lumps.
- 3
Cook down
Simmer, stirring frequently, for 10–12 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- 4
Sweeten
Stir in the sugar and crushed cardamom, and cook a further 3–4 minutes until glossy.
- 5
Serve
Serve warm, garnished with a few extra chopped walnuts if you like.
Nitra tip
Grind the walnuts coarsely rather than to a fine powder — a little texture is part of what makes this halwa satisfying.
