This is a traditional Indian sweet that is usually made for Diwali and Eid. The recipe below is my Mother-in-law's recipe. She made this for us on her visit to Canada and showed us how to make it. She normally makes this out of blanched almonds (1 cup). We tried the same recipe using almond powder, for conveneince, and it turned out great. But I can definitely tell that the taste in the recipe using blanched almonds was enhanced. So if you have the time make this recipe using blanched almonds. After the almonds have been blanched make sure to grind it so that it forms coarse crumbs.

  2. 1/4 CupWater
  3. 1 CupAlmond Powder
  4. 100 GramsButter Melted
  5. 2 TablespoonsMilk

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Put the sugar in a small nonstick pot and add the water to it. Turn on the stove and let the sugar and water solution come to a boil. Keep boiling till the solution has a one thread consistency when pressed between the thumb and the forefinger.

  2. 2

    Add the almond powder and keep stirring so that the mixture doesn't burn. If the mixture changes color that means it's burning.

  3. 3

    Add a little bit of the melted butter and keep stirring. Keep doing this till all the melted butter has been added.

  4. 4

    Add the milk and keep stirring.

  5. 5

    When bubbles start to form in the mixture it means that the burfi is ready to be taken off the stove.

  6. 6

    Butter a flat surface/counter top. Pour the burfi onto it and start flattening it out using a knife or a spatula into the desired thickness.

  7. 7

    Let it cool for 15 mins. After 15 mins roll out the burfi using a rolling pin for an even thickness.

  8. 8

    Once the burfi is completely cooled down, dip a knife in melted butter and cut the pieces to the size as desired. Diagonally or as squares.

    Enjoy!
