Akhroat (Walnut) Halwa

What you need
 1 1/2 Stick Butter (6 oz)
 1 1/4 Cups Sugar
 1 1/2 Cups Walnuts chopped
 1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk
 3 Cups Powdered Milk

Make it!

Mix all the above ingredients in a oven proof pot/pan.
Bake at 350 for one hour, stirring every 15 mins.
Halwa should be lighter in color than Habshi Halwa, medium brown.
Transfer immediately in your serving dish, decorate with slivered pistachios.

Tips:
I use my Pakistani heavy based pots to bake this Halwa.
Use a big baking pan because the milk boils.
Transfer immediately as soon as the halwa is done otherwise it will overcook and become chewy.
 
Recipe from:
My Cousin Shahnaz Aslam, who got it from our other cousin Anjum Wahaj.
 
Mix all ingredients

 
Half way cooked
Enjoy!
