Badam Burfi | Almond Burfi | How to make Badam Burfi

Ingredients:

Almonds (Badam)	1/2 Cup*
Sugar	3/4 Cup**
Milk	1/4 Cup
Ghee	2 Tablespoon + Little for Greasing

* 1 Cup = 250ml

** Sugar measure is for the badam paste. We need to measure badam paste and take equal proportion of sugar

Method:

Grease a baking tin or burfi tin with ghee and set it aside
Take Almonds in a vessel. Add hot water to soak the almonds and cover and set it aside for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, drain the water. De-skin the almonds and take it aside
Add all the de-skinned almonds to the mixer jar. Add milk and grind it to a fine paste
Measure the almond paste. We need to add equal quantity of sugar for the measured paste. I got 3/4 cup of badam paste. So I have used 3/4 Cup sugar. The ratio is 1:1
Heat a heavy bottomed pan. Add badam paste along with sugar. Add ghee and keep stirring. Initially the mixture would be so watery.
Keep stirring till the mixture becomes thick and starts to roll like a ball without sticking to sides and bottom of the pan. You can add a small drop of mixture to the kitchen counter and allow it to sit for few seconds and then check if it becomes firm like a burfi and not like a halwa. When you get this correct firm consistency, then switch off the flame
Pour the burfi mixture to the greased pan. Level the edges and top using a ghee greased back of spoon or zipper cover. Allow the mixture to cool off for a while till we are able to touch it with little warmness left. When they are warm, cut them into desired pieces
Store the Almond Burfi in an air-tight container and enjoy the burfi!
