Cooking method
"No matter how much you say "halva", it won't get sweeter in your mouth" And why talk if you can cook? We are used to buying halva in stores, and we have long had the impression that you can't cook such food at home. But there is a cooking recipe, and I won't get tired of repeating: you cook, you cook... Why not cook when all the products are quite available?
Soak the nuts for two hours, and then peel them off. Although you can also buy cleaned ones. We grind them well with milk. Just don't pour the milk right away. First we grind the nuts, and then add the milk drop by drop and continue to grind. In India, this is done in a mortar. Pour into a frying pan (it is better to put the pan on a divider to make the heat less) and bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to the very minimum. Continuing to stir with a spatula soaked in oil, add sugar, and wait until the syrup thickens. Then add the melted butter, and again, mix everything properly. And finally, last of all, we put cardamom and saffron. And remove from the fire. To give shape, the mass should be poured into a greased dish and left to cool.
