Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Semolina — Make sure to gradually add the semolina to the simmering milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Roasted almonds and pistachios — To enhance the flavor, roast the nuts in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 8-10 minutes until they turn golden brown. Allow them to cool before chopping and using as toppings.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a creamier texture, you can substitute part of the milk with heavy cream.
  • Experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts or cashews, to add your own twist to the dish.
  • Serve the Nutty Halv Delight chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.
