Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 170°C/Gas mark 4. Put the semolina in a deep frying pan and dry-roast over a moderate heat until it is very lightly coloured and has a nutty aroma
- Stir in the ghee and cook for 2 minutes, then add the warm water and cook until it has been absorbed by the semolina
- Stir the coffee into 2 tablespoons of warm water and then add to the semolina, along with the granulated sugar
- Cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened enough to leave the sides of the pan
- Meanwhile, scatter the walnuts onto a baking tray and bake in a preheated medium oven for 3-5 minutes or until starting to turn brown and crisp
- Crush 4 of them in a bag with a rolling pin, and set aside the other 4 to garnish. Stir the crushed walnuts into the mixture
- Spoon onto a greased tray and cool until it solidifies. Cut into 2.5cm squares, garnish with a piece of roasted walnut and gold leaf petals
