Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 cup Butter -- clarified
2 teaspoons Cardamom -- ground
1 cup Sugar -- brown
2 cups Persimmon pulp
1 teaspoon Juice -- lemon
1/2 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Walnuts -- chopped
Vegetable oil can be substituted for the clarified butter.
In a large bowl, mix the flower, sugar and soda.
Fold in the pulp and the ghee. Add the lemon juice, cardamom powder,
raisins and nuts. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Coat with ghee or oil a six-cup container and pour the mixture into it.
Cover with foil and steam in the pressure cooker without its valve
weight for about 1 hours. Cool the halva before cutting into small
pieces for serving.
A pressure cooker with a six-cup size container works best for this
recipe. One large persimmon equals about 1 cup of pulp.
