Halva-Keshi
Halva-Keshi looks very similar to Halva Ardeh but they are very different together. Due to the presence of wheat flour in the preparation of Halva Keshi, the texture of this dessert is different. Halva Keshi is made with saffron and Golab so it has a different aroma compared to Halva Ardeh.
Ingredients:
. 210g wheat flour
. 120g sesame butter
. 500g sugar or grape syrup
. 150g walnuts, chopped
. 1 cup water
. 1 tablespoon brewed saffron
. 3 tablespoons Golab (rose water)
. Butter – optional
. Pistachio powder for garnish
To make Halva-Keshi, pour wheat flour into a suitable pan and then place the pan on flame with medium heat and fry a little the flour, the key is the color of the flour should not change in making Halva-Keshi. Now, add sesame butter to the pan and stir the mixture for about 5 minutes after the mentioned time add chopped walnuts to the pan and mix all ingredients very well.
At this time, immediately transfer the mixture to another dish. Now it’s time to prepare sweet syrup, in a pot pour water and sugar ( you can use grape syrup or any other types of syrups like honey instead of sugar) and stir the water and sweet syrup and put them on a flame when they are mix add brewed saffron and Golab increase the gas until the syrup boils.
