RecipeIngredients
  • 2 cups raw walnuts, coarsely powdered
  • ½ cup water chest nut flour (singhare ka atta)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup or raw honey (use maple syrup for vegan)
  • ½ cup hot water
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
RecipeInstructions
  1. Powder the walnuts in a food processor or blender (coarsely powdered is ok) and then measure. Keep aside.
  2. Heat a kadai (wok style pan or frying pan) and when hot add the water chest nut flour. Roast this flour on medium heat stirring frequently until it turns color to a light brown (about 5 mins). Now add the sea salt, coconut oil and the coarsely powdered walnuts. Add the maple syrup or honey too and stir to mix everything - you should get a wet mass. Now turn heat to low and add ½ a cup of hot water to the wet mixture. Turn heat back to medium and stir slowly until all the water is absorbed by the wet mass. It should resemble halwa (fudge) consistency. Turn heat off.
  3. Line a 8 inch square brownie pan with parchment paper and dump the mixture into the pan. Grease the back of a small cup with oil and press on the mixture to spread it uniformly on the pan. Now make cuts on the mixture to form 16 squares. Top with extra chopped walnuts (if desired). Refrigerate for an hour or freeze for 30 mins before serving.
