How this kind of dish is made
The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.
Toast the flour or base ingredient over low heat until the raw aroma disappears.
Add oil or butter and stir until evenly combined.
Mix the sugar syrup, rosewater, saffron, or other aromatics separately and gradually add it to the toasted mixture.
Stir continuously until the halva pulls away from the pan; shape or spread it in a serving dish.
Cook's notes
Toast the flour over even, moderate heat so it does not scorch. Add the syrup gradually and keep stirring so the halva stays smooth and lump-free.
Background
