Badam/Almond Burfi


Hi, all i'm back from a break :) was just enjoying summer. From now onwards will be updating my blog regularly. This year for Diwali wanted to try something new sweet like burfi, as last year I gave a try to Apple Burfi. So found this Badam Burfi in Mangulas Kitchen, you can go through the vedio also. This burfi is so simple and very tasty to eat. Badam burfi came out really good, than I expected it would be :) !!



Ingredients

1 cup whole almonds
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk
3 tblsp ghee
1/2 tsp Cardamom powder


Method

1. Soak the almonds in hot water for 30 minutes. Peel off the skin.
2. Blend the peeled almonds along with sugar into a fine paste using enough milk as needed to blend.
3. Heat the ghee in the frying pan on low-medium heat.When ghee melts, add the almond paste and cook on medium heat, stirring continuously.Until the mixture thickens to the consistency of bread batter, and starts leaving the sides of the pan. This takes around 10-15 minutes.
4. Add the cardamom powder and remove from the heat.
5. Whip the batter using a spoon in a circular motion for about two to three minutes.( As Mangula specifys )
6. Transfer it into the prepared greased pan for required thickness.
7. Let it cool for about 20 minutes until burfi look warm. This is the perfect time to cut the burfi into 1-inch squares or any shape. I cut into diamond shape. Cool to the room temperature and sereve. Enjoy!!

Note : shelf life of this burfi is up to one week in a air tight container. When refrigerated, almond burfi can last for few months.
