akhrot ka halwaanyway, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to the walnut halwa recipe. firstly, i would like to put more stress on the choice of walnuts. with my experience, i have seen there are some walnuts which may taste bad and bitter. typically the old stock tastes bad and hence you need to be careful to choose those. secondly, in this recipe i have used only walnuts, but this can easily experiment with other dry fruit variations. particularly, you can use pistachios, cashews and almonds. lastly, due to the use of milk in this recipe, the shelf life is very low. you may need to finish it off within 2 to 3 days of preparation.
