Kahta Semila Halva With Almond

Kahta Almond Semolina Halva is particularly popular during the winter season, yet its delightful flavor makes it a preferred dessert choice even in the summer months.

What sets Kahta Almond Semolina Halva apart is the inclusion of almond kernels and kaşar cheese in its recipe. The specific method used during its preparation imparts a distinct yellow hue, along with a unique taste and aroma that are characteristic of this regional halva.

Preparation of Kahta Almond Semolina Halva:

Expertise is essential in crafting Kahta Almond Semolina Halva. The process begins by boiling a mixture of water and granulated sugar until it reaches approximately 100°C. At this stage, semolina is added and blended thoroughly, forming a smooth and uniform mixture. This mixture is then stirred continuously and cooked until it reaches the texture similar to the earlobe, after which vegetable oil is incorporated. Once it is evenly roasted, butter is added, and roasting continues to enhance its richness.

When the ideal color and texture are achieved, almond kernels and grated kaşar cheese are folded into the halva. The final mixture is spread onto a greased tray, leveled out, coated with a thin layer of vegetable oil, and allowed to cool. As a finishing touch, it is decorated with whole almonds and prepared for serving.
