Pistachios Candy:
Pistha Halwa. Pista Halwa. Pista Candy.
Ingredients:
Pistachios nuts 1 bowl full
Milk 1 cup
Sugar 1 bowl full
Ghee 1 cup.
Method:
Soak shelled nuts in luke warm water for 20-30 minutes. Then peel their fine skin.
Blend this nuts with milk to a thick puree.
In a non-stick pan add ghee. Try to maintain the whole process on low flame only.
Now add sugar and 1/2 cup of water….bring the syrup to pearl consistency.
To this syrup…add pista paste. Constant stirring with well greased wooden spatula is advised. Better smear the spatula with ghee before hand.
Once the Halwa consistency is achieved transfer it to well greased container. Smear the container preferably with ghee.
The shelf life is more than a month. If refrigerated it stay long till 3-4 months.
