Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tbsp rose water
  • 1/2 + 1/8 cup milk powder
  • 1 tbsp walnuts chopped
  • 1 tbsp almonds chopped
  • 1 tbsp pistachios chopped

Instructions

  • Keep a small plate greased.  Mix the milk powder, walnuts and almonds and set aside.
  • Keep water to warm. As soon as it starts to warm, add the sugar and salt. Mix well.
  • Keep moving it around - do not stir - till the sugar is dissolved.
  • Boil the mixture till it slightly thickens. When it boils, it will form a white foam on top. I boiled the syrup for almost 15 minutes. Add in the cardamom and rose water and take off the heat.
  • Quickly sprinkle the milk powder mixture and mix with a wooden spoon vigorously till the syrup coats it completely.
  • Transfer it to the greased plate, sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top.
  • Allow the mixture to settle for an hour. Cut into squares with a sharp knife.
  • Serve with a cup of black tea. Can be stored in an air tight container for 5 days - if there is anything remaining that is!!!
