Majoon is a type of Halwa, you could even call it a barfi. Basically, a mix of nuts is coarsely ground and then simmered in milk. Khoya and sugar are added to make it rich and give it a body. It is a sweet made in Sindhi homes.

Majoon is rich and nutritious, it is loaded with nuts and cooking on slow fire lends it a special aroma.
