Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 ml Water
• 2 tablespoons Rose water
• 100 grams Walnuts
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 10 grams Pistachios (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Butter, unsalted

Directions

Step 1

Place the granulated sugar and 100 ml of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a clear syrup.

Step 3

Add rose water and cardamom powder to the syrup, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the syrup simmers, grind the walnuts coarsely using a food processor or chop them manually with a knife.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a smooth slurry.

Step 6

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering syrup while stirring constantly to thicken the mixture.

Step 7

Once the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter to give it a glossy finish.

Step 8

Line a small tray or baking dish with parchment paper and spread half the sugar mixture evenly on the base.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the sugar base, pressing down gently with a spoon to create a flat layer.

Step 10

Spread the remaining sugar mixture over the walnut layer, smoothing it out gently with a spatula.

Step 11

Allow the sweet to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or until firm.

Step 12

Once firm, cut into small squares or diamond shapes. Garnish with crushed pistachios, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy this delicate Persian sweet with tea or coffee!
