🔥 Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Soak & Peel Almonds

• Soak the almonds in hot water for about 1 hour.

• Once soaked, peel the skin off each almond. (You can also blanch them to make peeling easier.)

2. Make Almond Paste

• Grind the peeled almonds into a smooth paste by adding a little water. Don’t over-grind — we want a rich, grainy texture that enhances flavor.

3. Prepare Sugar Syrup

• In a non-stick pan, add sugar and water and cook on medium flame.

• Let the sugar dissolve and cook until it forms a one-string consistency syrup.

• You can add a few strands of saffron for aroma and natural color.

4. Cook the Mixture

• Add the almond paste into the syrup and mix well.

• Keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps and sticking.

• Add ghee slowly while cooking. The mixture will begin to thicken and leave the sides of the pan.

• Add cardamom powder and mix well.

5. Set the Burfi

• Grease a flat plate or tray with ghee.

• Pour the hot almond mixture and spread it evenly.

• Let it cool for 15–20 minutes.

• Once it firms up, cut it into square or diamond-shaped pieces.

6. Garnish

• Apply silver leaf if desired and serve or store in an airtight container.

✅ Tips & Variations

• Use Dryfruit & Co. almonds to get the best quality and authentic taste.

• For extra flavor, you can add rose water or a few crushed rose petals.

• Store in a cool place for up to a week — no refrigeration needed.

🌟 Health Benefits

• Almonds are rich in Vitamin E, fiber, and healthy fats, making this sweet a better alternative to store-bought sugary snacks.

• Cardamom aids digestion and adds a natural fragrance.

• No preservatives or artificial flavoring — just pure, homemade goodness.
