Recipe for delicious dessert Halva Dehin Najaf with saffron

Halva Dehin Najaf is delicious and famous. If you walk in the old bazaar of Najaf (Suq Najaf) in Iraq, it is impossible not to see the large and lustful trays of this halva, and everyone likes to eat Abu Ali’s mouth.
Abu Ali, whose Halva Dehin Najaf was the most famous in Najaf, has now passed away, but there are still many who still make and sell in the Najaf market in Najaf, and many of them are students of the same famous Abu Ali.
This delicious, warm and tonic halva can be made with walnuts, almonds or coconut powder or even a combination of them. If you like the taste of animal oil, you can use it instead of butter.

ingredients :

Flour = 1 and 1/4 cup
Sugar = 1 cup
High-fat milk = 1/2 cup
Oil = 1/2 cup
Butter = 40 grams
Coconut powder = 1/2 cup
Palm sap = 3 tbsp
Powdered cardamom = 1 teaspoon
Saffron mixed with hot water = 1/2 teaspoon
Rose = 1-2 tablespoons
Walnuts and sliced almonds = as desired

Instruction :

First, melt the butter and grease the bottom of the cake pan or Pyrex dish with a spoon. Sprinkle half of the coconut powder on the dish. Then put half of the walnuts on it (using walnuts is optional).

Pour the milk, sugar and liquid oil into a small saucepan and place on a gas flame. Stir to dissolve the hot liquid and sugar.
Add rose and saffron to the ingredients and stir for another minute or two. Now pour the date juice and stir.

Sift flour and cardamom together and pour over the rest of the ingredients. Stir a little to get the flour to absorb the liquid and then mix the melted butter with it (halva should be a little thicker than porridge).

Pour the halva into the prepared walnuts. Straighten the halva as much as possible. Then sprinkle the remaining coconut powder on the halva. If you want, sprinkle some almonds on it.

Place the mold in a preheated oven at 150. C for about 30 minutes. Finally, turn on the flame on the oven for 2-3 minutes until the coconut powder and almond slices on the halva are roasted and browned.
After removing from the oven, wait a while for the halva to cool down a bit and cut more easily. Cut it into squares and serve.
