Cashewnut-Almond Barfi
Ingredients
1 cup cashewnuts and almonds(soaked overnight)
1 pinch saffron (soaked in warm milk)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup pure ghee
1/2 - 1 cup milk
1 pinch edible camphor (optional)
1/2 - 1 tsp elaichi powder
Method:
- Deskin the almonds and make it into a paste along with the cashewnuts, saffron and milk.
- The quantity of the sugar should be equal to that of the nut paste.
- If you wish a sweeter barfi, increase the quantity of the sugar.
- The paste should not be too thick, it should be of a roughly pouring consistency.
- Then heat a kadhai and pour the ghee in it.
- When it becomes hot, pour in the paste and sugar and stir.
- Keep stirring till the paste starts to harden and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
- This will roughly take 45 mins to an hour. To test if the barfi is ready take a greased thali and put a drop of the mixture on it.
- If it hardens on contact, then it is ready to be taken out.
- Now put in the edible camphor and! elaichi powder and stir for a while to evenly distribute it.
- Then pour it in the thali and cut in in squares or any shape you want.
- Let it harden and delicious barfis are ready!
