Nahida’s Special Dish Recipe and how to cook it in Genshin Impact

Nahida, who's also known as the Dendro Archon, Lesser Lord Kusanali, is a kind deity who dotes on Sumeru's residents despite their initial rejection of her existence as a god. Beyond her impressive ability to peer into people's consciousness, Nahida is no stranger to the kitchen—her Special Dish is called the Halvamazd, a variation of the Candied Ajilenakh Nut.

How to get Nahida's Special Dish Recipe in Genshin Impact

You can purchase the Recipe for Candied Ajilenakh Nut from the Puspa Cafe in Sumeru City. Enter the Cafe and speak with Enteka to open the shop menu. You can buy the Recipe for Candied Ajilenakh Nut for 5,000 Mora—a one-time purchase that will allow you to cook as many as you like.

How to cook Halvamazd in Genshin Impact

You can cook Halvamazd on any stove using Nahida. It's unfortunately not possible to cook the Special Dish if you haven't pulled her. Interact with any bonfire or stove to open the cooking menu and select Candied Ajilenakh Nut, which can be made with the following ingredients:

• x4 Ajilenakh Nut
• x2 Almond
• x2 Butter
• x1 Sumeru Rose

You can purchase almonds from Dongsheng, who owns the Second Life general goods shop in Liyue Harbor. Ms. Bai from Qingce Village also sells them but in smaller quantities. Meanwhile, you can process Butter using Milk.

If Nahida cooks Candied Ajilenakh Nut, there's a chance for her to make Halvamazd instead. The exact rate for cooking Special Dishes is unknown, but it works on both Manual and Auto Cook modes.
