Badam Burfi/ Almond Burfi and Diwali wishes!

It's sweets time for Diwali ! I would like to share an easy burfi recipe with you all.
Most of the badam burfi's will tell you to soak the badam for few hours and peel  the skin. I really don't have the patience to peel the skin of 1 whole cup pf almonds.

Here is a very easy badam burfi which can be made with no fuss, no peeling, no soaking.

Get ready:

• 1 cup almonds
• 1/2 cup milk powder
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• a pinch saffron soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk
• 2 tbsp ghee/ clarified butter
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Go:

• Coarsley or finely powder the dry almonds with skin ina blender or spice grinder.
• Mix the milk powder with the powdered badam and set aside.
• In a heavy bottomed pan, add the sugar and 1/4 cup water.
• MAke the sugar syrup to 2 string consistency. It will take about 10 mins.
• Now add the badam, milk powder and mix well on moderate flame.
• Add the  ghee little by little and cook till the mixture doesn't stick to the pan for about 5 mins.
• Grease a plate and pour the badam mixture in it.
• Smoothen the surface with a greased spatula.
• Let it cool, cut into diamond shapes and serve.

It soft, rich and perfect for the festive season.

Wishing you and your family a happy and prosperous diwali!
