Instant Almond Burfi
Ingredients
Blanched and dried Almonds- 100gms.(Soak the almonds for a few hours, remove the skin, and dry them on a dry cloth, to remove moisture)
Sweet bread slices - 4 to 5 pieces
Powdered Sugar - 150gms.
Milk powder 1 tsp
Milk - 2 tbsps.
Almond essence a few drops.
Yellow food colour - few drops (optional)
Method:
- The almonds must be powdered in the mixie, after they are dry and their
skins removed. The bread slices should also be powdered in the mixie.
- Put all the ingredients in a heavy bottomed vessel (karahi) and keep it on a high flame. Keep stirring to avoid burning.
- Within 5 mins. the sweet will form into a soft ball. Put off the gas.
- You could spread it on a well greased plate, and cut in squares when cool. Or you could shape them, by pressing small balls of the sweet in little tart cups.
- Decorate the burfi with slivers of almonds, or grated pistas, or even tutti frutti or sultanas.
They taste great however, so happy cooking and eating.
