ground walnut and sugar

In a non stick wok/pan boil sugar and water. After the first boil reduce the heat and boil the sugar syrup till it gets thickened and makes two string syrup. Two string syrup means that you take a drop of syrup between your two fingers and then stretch the fingers - if the syrup that sticks between the two fingers is making two threads (or strings) then the thickness of syrup is appropriate. Takes about 3-5 mins.
Add walnut powder in the sugar syrup. Stir well.Cook the mixture on very low heat until the walnut paste starts leaving the sides. (Takes about 2 minutes)
Turn off the heat and set the mixture on the greased tray. Grease your palm and spread it evenly. You can also use rolling pin to roll the walnut mixture. Roll it to ¼" thick. Let the mixture cool down, takes about 10-15 minutes.
