My heart says India is a land of festivals. Festive season starts with Makar Sankranti in the calendar year. Followed by Mahashivratri and Holi. Then comes Navratre, Ramnavmi in April and then Akshaya tritiya. Later comes sawan in July -Aug. Shravan Purnima, Varalakshmi vrat & Rakhi. Teej , Janamashtami, Gowri puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, Diwali & Karwa chauth. The whole year is lined up with festivals. What is life without a celebration? Sweets like badam katli or badam burfi, kaju katli , anjeer roll rule the roost in most sweet shops due to this high demand on festivals. Did you know, you can easily make them at home? Once you start making it at home you will always find store bought almond burfi has lesser nuts and more sweetness.

  • ¼ cup ghee
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1-¾ cup sugar
  • chopped almonds for garnish

Instructions

  • Soak almonds for 4-6 hours and remove the skin.
  • Grind them by adding water slowly, in a blender.
  • Heat ghee in a pan and add the badam paste to it.
  • Mix well with a spatula.
  • Add 2 tablespoon milk and keep stirring until it gets cooked.

Notes

Note: If sugar is less, the mixture will turn out as badam halva,which is as tasty as the sweet as well.In case you want more hard barfi you can add more sugar to the mixture and cook again.
If you cannot soak the almonds overnight,make sure you soak them for 2-3 hours in hot water so that skin can be removed easily .

Variations

You can make this burfi recipe with any nuts you like. Badam pista kaju or akhrot. Just decorate it with varq or some chopped almonds. You can also use just saffron if you do not have edible silver varq at home. I bet this recipe will rule the roost. You can also add cardamom powder to badam barfi if you like. You can also flatten the fudge made, by pressing with a rolling pin over parchment paper.Later make incisions with a knife. Another way of making this fudge is by using blanched almond flour or almond meal with sugar syrup. However, I am yet to perfect that badam burfi recipe. Will update once I make it.
