Triple Nut Sweet

Have been seeing all the various types of sweets overflowing in various blogsites, especially in regard to the events and festivals....and was like.."Ooh my... shouldnt me too be a part of all the fun??....But I have never made any sweet of any kind myself. So, for a long time now..had been raiding various blogistes for something which I thought is possible my me too...and finally, well settled in for the Butternut Squash Halwa by Viji of Vcuisine. (Click here for the recipie) . Trust me, she is a real specialist in jams, halwa's..sweets...infact anything. I dedicate these flowers to you Viji...happy journey !!!
.
honestly, I was soo thrilled to see the halwa take its form in the Microwave, but the quantity was very less to be served to about 7-8 craving mouths (ourselves and our relatives who live in the rearby flat), so had to think of something to increase its volume..
.
So, this was how the final presentation looked like....


Triple Nut Flowers....Crushed CashewNUT Stigma, ButterNUT Squash Style and PeaNUT Petals !!!.

.


Other shapes : Halwa Cresents: Took a small ball of the halwa, flattened it with the fingures, placed few cashew crushes in the centre, and folded close, to get the cresent shape.


Halwa Roll : made into cylindrical shapes, and rolled in cashew crush.




.

This entry goes to the JFS : Diwali. Happy Diwali, Dassera and Halloween. Ofcourse, the sweet doesnt have anything to do with halloween, but being the month of october, thought better put up something relative to pumpkins too.

  1. That's so cute Sona. Trying to catch up the missed posts one by one before i leaves. Thanks for reminding me. Have gone through the other posts. The clik in the noddle nest is awesome. Bread Konafa is a new idea. You get Kunafa layers in City center. If you are interested try that one. I love that sweet. Love your outing. So you are able to float now. That's great. When i come back, will join you in swimming one day :) OK? I love that pool. My friend is staying closeby. They have their own pool in their apartment. I used to go there for swimming during summer. Take care, will catch you once i come back. Love to your son. Your presentation skill is awesome. Keep it up. Viji

  4. Cool dessert! Very pretty looking Sona. Halloween is all about scary and candies. This qualifies for Halloween too, although too pretty!;D
    Btw, it's JFI, not JFS. Great entry for JFI Diwali! Enjoy!:))
