Bombay halva
This Indian sweet makes a lovely present for friends. Chopped pistachios, almonds and cashews make this a particularly tasty halva.
What you need
- 300 ml water
- 225 g caster sugar
- 75 g cornflour
- freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
- 100 g green cardamom pods, crushed
- 50 g shelled and skinned chopped pistachio nuts
- 50 g chopped almonds
- 50 g chopped cashew nuts
Method
Heat the water and sugar gently in a pan until sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer for 8-10 min.
Blend the cornflour with enough water to form a smooth paste. Add to the pan and stir in thoroughly.
Stir in the lemon juice, butter and cardamom seeds. Cook over a low heat for 5-10 min, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes very thick and starts to come away from the sides of the pan.
Stir in the nuts, until well mixed.
Pour into a shallow tin or tray lined with parchment paper. Leave to set.
When firm, remove from tin. Cut into diamond shapes.
