Almond Burfi
Soft Indian almond fudge made with ground almonds, sugar, ghee and cardamom for a rich festive sweet.
Almond Burfi, also known as Badam Barfi, is a classic Indian sweet made from finely ground almonds, sugar and ghee. The mixture is cooked until thick, scented with cardamom and then spread into a tray to set before being cut into neat squares or diamonds. Almonds give the burfi a soft yet slightly dense texture and a naturally rich flavor. It is especially popular during festivals and celebrations. Cook the mixture patiently and stir continuously so it does not catch on the bottom of the pan.
