Add the cornmeal to the pan once the sunflower oil is hot.
Roast the cornmeal for 6 minutes, until it smells toasted and turns slightly darker.
Mix the molasses water in a separate bowl and keep it warm.
Slowly add the liquid to the cornmeal, stirring constantly so it does not splatter.
Add the walnuts, pull the mixture together for 3 minutes, and serve hot.
When serving, drizzle a thin line of molasses over the top to balance the cornmeal flavor.
💡 Tip: Patiently roasting the cornmeal gives the halva a deeper aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Portion the warm halva with a spoon and sprinkle walnuts over the top.
