How to make Iranian milk halva

If you have a dessert with a softer texture, use full-fat milk, and for a better aroma and flavor, use high-quality rose water and saffron.

Step 1

To make any type of halva, you must roast the flour. To do this, place the flour in a suitable pan over heat and stir it regularly over medium heat until the smell of flour comes out and its color becomes darker. For this dessert, the color of the flour does not need to change much because milk halva dessert has a lighter color than other halva.

Step 2

Add butter or solid oil to it and stir until the butter melts in it. Of course, at this stage, you can also use liquid ghee mixed with butter in the flour to make it a dough.

Step 3 (Preparing the Milk Halva Syrup)

Put another container on the heat and add the milk along with the sugar. Place it on medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves in the milk and there is no need to boil the milk. Add the saffron along with the rose water and cardamom powder to the milk and stir again and remove the container from the heat.

Step 4

Slowly add the hot milk syrup to the halva flour and mix together. Do this on low heat so that the milk does not burn and your ingredients do not form lumps and stir regularly.

After this, the halva ingredients will gradually harden in a way that they can be easily separated from the walls of the container.

Finally, you can use almond or pistachio slices to decorate it.
