   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      cup           Flour
    1      teaspoon      Baking soda
      1/2  cup           Butter -- clarified
    2      teaspoons     Cardamom -- ground
    1      cup           Sugar -- brown
    2      cups          Persimmon pulp
    1      teaspoon      Juice -- lemon
      1/2  cup           Raisins
      1/2  cup           Walnuts -- chopped
 
 Vegetable oil can be substituted for the clarified butter.
 In a large bowl, mix the flower, sugar and soda.
 Fold in the pulp and the ghee.  Add the lemon juice, cardamom powder,
 raisins and nuts. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
 Coat with ghee or oil a six-cup container and pour the mixture into it.
 Cover with foil and steam in the pressure cooker without its valve
 weight for about 1 hours. Cool the halva before cutting into small
 pieces for serving.
 A pressure cooker with a six-cup size container works best for this
 recipe.  One large persimmon equals about 1 cup of pulp.
