Badam Burfi/Cake
Ingredients
Almonds/ Badam - 1 cup (soaked in water for nearly 4-5 hours)
Sugar - 1 - 11/2 cups
Cardamom powder - to taste
Ghee - 1/2 cup
Method :
- Remove the skin of the almonds and grind to a fine paste without any lumps.
- In a deep bottomed vessel, make a syrup of sugar and water just enough to
cover the sugar.
- The syrup should just start having a one string consistency
when put the almond paste and start stirring adding ghee 1 tablespoon at a
time.
- Keep stirring till it comes to a point where you can feel holes in the
mixture and slightly frothy.
- Immediately remove it and put it in a greased
plate and shake it to come to the same level.
- Before it becomes slightly
cool, cut into diamond shapes.
Note : In case you feel you cannot cut it since the mixture has not become
hard, do not worry, Put the mixture back into the vessel and stir it for
some more time. Remember when you look at the mixture you start feeling that
it is time up. Do not wait for it to start frothing too much since then the
cake becomes very hard like mysore pak. Please try this recipe and give me
your feedback.
