Almond Burfi

Almond Burfi is a traditional Indian dessert made with finely ground almonds, providing a rich and nutty flavor. This high-protein treat is perfect for satisfying sweet cravings while offering a nutritious boost.

Ingredients

• Almonds - 200 grams
• Condensed milk - 100 grams
• Ghee (clarified butter) - 2 tablespoons
• Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Saffron strands - a pinch
• Chopped pistachios - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Soak almonds in hot water for about 15 minutes, then peel the skins off.
2. Once peeled, grind the almonds in a food processor to a fine powder.
3. In a non-stick pan, heat the ghee over medium heat and add the almond powder, stirring continuously.
4. Add the condensed milk, cardamom powder, and saffron strands to the pan. Mix well until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

6. Transfer the mixture to the greased tray and flatten it with a spatula, smoothing the surface.
7. Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for garnish and press them gently into the burfi.
