Onion

Whole milk

White sugar

Whole almonds

Pistachio

Clarified butter (ghee)

Cardamon (powder)

Pyaaz ka Halwa

Peel and finely grate the onions. Squeeze out any excess water from the grated onions and set them aside.

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the grated onions and sauté them on low to medium heat until they turn golden brown. This will take some time, and it's essential to stir frequently to prevent burning.

Once the onions are golden brown, add the sugar to the pan. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sugar melts and combines with the onions.

Add milk to the mixture, and stir well. Continue to cook and simmer the mixture until it thickens, and the ghee starts to separate from the halwa. This may take 15-20 minutes.

Add cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using) to the halwa. Mix well.

Garnish the Pyaaz ka Halwa with slivered almonds and pistachios.

Serve the halwa hot or warm. It's a unique and delicious dessert with a rich, caramelized onion flavor.
