Flour Halva (with Walnut)
I always say that whenever I prepare something that smells so bad, I think of my grandmother in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen this morning before I started work to commemorate him and all that we lost on the occasion of the oil lamp.
As the smell of halva faded, my grandmother's white cardigan, which she knitted herself, was turning left and right in the small kitchen, and I could see her squeaky messes. And my grandfather waiting for us in the living room.
Anyway, when I talk about these issues too much, I turn out to be watery-eyed. For this reason, I come to how I shape halvah right away.
The mold I use is called the kömbe mold. Kömbe is also a local cookie, just like we cut cookies with cookie cutters now, they used to press and shape into this mold in the past.
The brewed and warmed halva is already very suitable for shaping, it is enough to break off 1 piece with a spoon or with your hand, press it into the mold and remove the halva by tapping the mold lightly on the plate.
I bought the mold from Tahtakale a long time ago. You can find at least 3-4 different varieties there.
May everyone be blessed.
Love…
