Caramel Walnut Halwa

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Maida or all purpose flour
• 3 cups Sugar
• 1 cup Butter
• 1cup Walnuts
• 3 cups Hot Water

Method:

• In a deep pan, melt a tablespoon of butter and add the sugar.
• At low heat let the sugar melt and turn into caramel, turning constantly to prevent burning.
• When the sugar is all caramel-led add the hot water.
• At first the sugar will crystallize, but slowly will melt and you will have caramel flavored water.
• In a saucepan melt the rest of the butter, add the flour.
• Fry the flour until golden brown, add the chopped walnuts and add the hot caramel water.
• Cook until all the water is absorbed.
• Quickly stir the halwa to make it smooth.
• Transfer the halava into a slightly greased tray.
• Let it set then cut in cubes.

Notes:

• Instead of Walnut you can use badam or cashew nuts. If you want you can soak walnut for about 15 min. in hot water and remove the skin.
