Are you a fan of rich, nutty flavors in your desserts? Look no further than this exquisite Walnut Sweet recipe that beautifully incorporates the delightful essence of walnuts, known as "akrot" or "akhrot giri" in Hindi. These delectable sweets not only offer a fantastic taste but also pack a punch of nutrition owing to the goodness of walnuts.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups walnuts (akhrot giri)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- Ghee (clarified butter) for greasing
Instructions:
- Preparation of Walnuts: Begin by finely chopping or grinding the walnuts. Ensure they are not powdered entirely but have a coarse texture to enhance the crunchiness in the sweets.
- Sugar Syrup: In a pan, combine sugar and water, and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. Cook the syrup until it reaches a one-string consistency.
- Adding Walnuts: Once the sugar syrup attains the desired consistency, add the chopped/grinded walnuts and cardamom powder to the syrup. Stir continuously on low heat to blend the ingredients well. Cook until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the edges of the pan.
- Shaping the Sweets: Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Grease your palms with ghee and take small portions of the mixture to shape them into round balls or any desired shape while it's still warm. You can also flatten them slightly to give them a unique appearance.
- Final Touch: Let the walnut sweets cool down completely and set for about an hour. Once cooled, they are ready to be served or stored in an airtight container.
