Omani Halwa Recipe | عُـمـانـی حـلـوہ | Omani Dessert | Omani Traditional Sweet Dish | Desi Dishes |

Prepare mixed nuts by coarsely chopping cashews, walnuts, pistachios, and almonds.

Soak the chopped nuts in rose water for 15 minutes.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of cornstarch with water until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

In a pot, caramelize the brown sugar over medium heat until melted, then add water to it.

Once the sugar has melted, add the cornstarch mixture to the pot and stir continuously over low heat.

Add cardamom powder and saffron to the mixture and continue stirring.

Gradually add ghee to the mixture while stirring until well combined.

Incorporate the soaked nuts into the mixture and mix well.

Cook until the halwa thickens and reaches a desired consistency, ensuring it does not become too liquidy.

Garnish with additional nuts and serve.
