- Hi dear friends! I hope you enjoy this lovely video of my mom making halva, a traditional dessert from Constantinople made with semolina. You can omit the butter and you have an amazing tasting vegan dessert. All measurements and directions are included in the video.
Enjoy! XO, Maria Delta

it looks delicious, however, in Turkey we put some freshly roasted pine nuts in to the helva. it's called irmik helvasi in Turkish. 😊👍
ouah ! I remember eating this dish in thessaloníki ! Loved it so much ! thanks for the recipe !!!
respect. merci
Hello from America, you have a lovely family. I’ll have to give this recipe a try.
There’s a healthier version if you’d like to have a go at making it. First you dry toast semolina stirring constantly like the lovely mum did then transfer to a bowl to cool a bit.. then pour half a cup of water in the pot along with half cup (more if you wish) honey, mix and bring to a boil.. add your favorite aromatics (I usually add saffron and cardomom to my flour-based halva 👌🏻).. back to semolina.. add eabout a cup to it and mix well and pour onto honey mixture in the pot, add more water if needed while stirring to mix well.. lower down heat and allow to cook.. last you add just a teaspoon of your favorite fat, mix well and voila!! 🤗 You may garnish with cinnamon or/or desired nuts!
I tried semolina but honestly loved the taste of flour in making this dish. The aroma that shifts from toasting flour is quite appetizing. Cheers! 👋🏻
YUMMY
Bravo... poli oreo... tha to kano edo stin Brazilia... Gia sas!!!
Very nice
Are your saucepans AMC? they look exactly like mine!
Poli orao
Why do you call it Politiko?
I make mine with raisins, almonds, walnuts and pine nuts. Like it nutty.
Politiko means from Constantinople
traditional greek desert!
The name of it is derived from Arabic language though. Halva means sweet delight and is pronounced as Halwa but since most other languages don’t spell “W” in their spoken words and spell it as “V” it’s become popular as Halva.
Been to that region and seen/tried this sweet dish which is also a traditional dish in most countries in that area.
not sure if I will say it right but: tesekkur ederim :)
You did say it right but this family is Greek rather than Turkish. But being from a Turkish family I appreciated it 😆
This is like Indian sooji( semolina) halawa.
Yup, it is mostly popular in Asia and neighboring European and African countries!

Indeed she did
The sugar is added only in the sirup.
Greeks are beautiful.
