Badam Burfi | Almond Fudge & My 450th Post :)

Badam burfi is one of the delicious Indian sweets,it has the unique richness of almonds and we can't stop by munching just one.These are real soft addictive ones.This burfi is very good to sneak in almonds(badam) to kids.And also,the sweet content in a store brought burfi is much more than the homemade ones.This is very simple recipe which anyone could give it a try.Am also happy to share that this is my 450th post,Thank u gals for all the support and encouragement through your valued comments and likes.Hoping to see you all around in my upcoming posts after a break as am leaving on vacation to India.Till then keep browsing my older posts & enjoy making them at home  !!

Ingredients
almonds/badam 1 1/4 cup
*sugar 3/4-1 1/4 cup
cardamom powder 3/4 tsp
milk 1/2 cup
ghee 2tbsp

Method

• Soak the almonds in hot water for 30 minutes and blanch them with your hands.
• Blend the almonds with sugar by adding milk to grind in a coarse mixture.
• Heat ghee in a pan and pour the paste in the pan.Keep stirring the mix for about 10 minutes on medium flame or more until you get a dough like consistency or when the mix leaves the pan.
• Mix in the cardamom powder and put off flame.
• Grease a pan smeared with ghee and transfer the mix in the pan and spread evenly with a back of a spoon.Leave to cool for 30 minutes.
• Cut out shapes using cookie cutters or cut in square pieces.If using cookie cutters,then re roll the scraps by placing on top of parchment paper.
• Serve as dessert or just like that,refrigerate left overs if you have any(I had none)!!!

Servings~ 12 -16 pieces

NOTES
* I used 3/4 cup sugar which was sweet enough for us but you can always go ahead and add upto 1 1/4 cup depending on your sweet tooth.
* Smear a little ghee on the back of the spoon and the knife used for cutting,gives a neat finish when spreading/cutting.
