Badam burfi is an exotic sweet recipe made using badam, sugar, ghee, and little milk as the main ingredients. Almond burfi is a very simple and easy sweet. We don’t have to see any string consistency in this burfi recipe. My mother-in-law used to make cashew coconut burfi for Diwali. This almond burfi I learnt from my cousin. Burfi is a compulsory one we make for Diwali. Also, this can be made for Holi or Rakshabandan festival too. This burfi is made by soaking almonds in hot water and grinding it with milk. Later we add sugar and stir this until the right consistency is reached. Also, check out, our Full collection of Diwali Sweets recipes Check out our

METHOD:
Soak the badam | almonds in very hot water for 20 minutes.
Take out the skin and grind it into a smooth paste. Add the milk for grinding.You can use the raw milk or the boiled and cooled milk too. Measure this paste. It came out 3/4 cup paste for me. so I added 3/4 cup of sugar. In a heavy bottomed pan , add this badam paste, sugar(equal amount of the paste) and 1 tblsp of ghee. Meanwhile grease a pan and keep it aside. Stir in this badam sugar mixture on a medium low flame.
soak the saffron in 1 tblsp of warm milk for5 minutes and add that saffron milk to this. Stir well till the badam mixture becomes a thick mass and starts leaving the sides of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tblsp of ghee. Transfer this to the greased plate and when this becomes warm cut it into pieces. I just sprinkled some everest milk masala on the top.
I tried this recipe over the weekend. I could not cut it into pieces, what do you think went wrong? It tastes very nice but we are eating it as Badam Halwa… LOL Is it that I added too much ghee? Thanks Shweta
