Halwa recipe. Yum!

This is the recipe for the halwa we made on eid. Halwa is a sweet dessert we make in Pakistan. This my Nanu's (grandmother) recipe and it is delicious! I watched my aunt make it and I wrote it down for all of you. You can make this with any type of nuts like almonds, walnuts, pistachios or cashew nuts. We made this one with walnuts.

1 cup ground nuts 
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
cup powdered milk like Nido
5 ounces evaporated milk

Heat oil in a cooking pan and add the nuts in it. Fry it for a few minutes. Then put the sugar in it. Mix it for a few minutes. Then put the powdered milk in it. Then mix it well. Mix in evaporated milk and turn off the heat. Then eat it!
