  • In a pan, melt the butter over low heat. Gently pour in the condensed milk. Maintaining a low heat is key to prevent scorching.

  • Continuously stir the mixture over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or even a bit longer. This slow cooking process allows the milk to caramelize and thicken properly.
  • The halwa requires patience, as it must be cooked low and slow with constant stirring. Cook until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, forming a solid mass.

  • Stir in the ground cardamom, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the halwa.
  • Transfer the halwa to a greased dish. This prevents sticking and ensures easy removal later.
  • Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the halwa. Cover the dish and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled and set.
  • To serve, dip a knife in hot water and slice the chilled halwa. The hot knife helps create clean cuts. Enjoy this creamy, decadent dessert!
