A classic Diwali sweet treat and one of my favorite Indian sweets growing up. Its called Badam Burfi or Badam Katli. Badam is almond and burfi is the square shaped sweet treat. This sweet treat has a luxurious, elegant flavor of cardamom, saffron and almond and I prefer it lightly sweetened. If you’ve been to an Indian grocery store during any festivities or an Indian sweet shop called Halwai there is a good chance you’ve seen Badam burfi. Its hugely popular with Indians in India and the global Indian diaspora. There are several versions of burfi made with different nuts like cashews and pistachios, but also milk based burfi rolled into different shapes and flavored with different spices. This is a simple homemade version, the recipe can be used to make with cashews. Pistachios is slightly different, so it will be in a separate post later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make life simpler I recommend using blanched ground almond, it cuts out a lot of time and effort preparing fine almond powder, and thats a huge saving for me. I’ve tried both methods using whole almonds as given in the recipe and with store bought ground blanched almonds, both successfully. The one important thing is use blanched (without skin) ground almonds, if you want the burfi to look this beautiful blond color. Secondly to keep that white\/blond color use white sugar, it may not be the healthiest but to maintain the color its essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer my almond burfi to be on the lighter side of sweetness so I go with 1\/2 cup of sugar for this recipe, but 3\/4 is ideal for the traditional flavor. Other than that this is a delicious simple recipe to try if you want to make your own homemade Almond or cashew burfi it is worth a try. Happy Diwali!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
