How to Make Halva Ardeh?
Ingredients
- 210 grams wheat flour
- 120 grams Ardeh (ground sesame)
- 500 grams sugar or grape juice
- 150 grams chopped walnuts
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon saffron
- 3 tablespoons rosewater
- Butter as needed
- Pistachio powder for decoration
Directions
Step One
To make Halva Ardeh, pour flour into a pan, then put the pan on medium heat and fry the flour. Add Ardeh (sesame) to flour and stir the mixture of flour and sesame for 5 minutes on low heat.
Note: The color of the flour should not change when making Tahini Halva.

Step Two
After 5 minutes, add the chopped walnuts to the flour mixture and stir all these ingredients until they are well mixed, then transfer the Halva Ardeh to another dish.
Step Three
Put sugar and water on the heat. After the sugar dissolves in the water, add saffron and rosewater to the sugar and increase the heat until the syrup reaches the boiling point.
Step Four
Add the syrup to the flour mixture and mix all the ingredients well. Note that the temperature of the flour and syrup should be the same. Both should be lukewarm or hot.
Step Five
Choose a suitable bowl for forming Tahini Halva. Cover the bottom of the bowl with plastic cellophane, then put some pistachio slices in it, pour the Halva Ardeh into the bowl, and press it with a spoon until the Tahini Halva is consistent.

Step Six
Cover the Halva with another plastic cellophane, then put it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to rest.
Note: If the Halva is not consistent enough, put it in the freezer.
