Recipe for Badam Burfi

Almond Cake


Ingredients

Almonds (Badam) 1 cup
Butter 1/2 stick
Sugar 1 1/4 cups
1% Milk 1/4 cup
OPTIONAL:
Cardamom Powder 2 pinches

Put almonds in a microwave-safe container. Soak in water. Cook on HIGH for 6-8 minutes. Cool. Peel skin off of the almonds and grind the peeled almonds in blender with milk to a smooth paste. Melt butter to form ghee. Take a pan, add 2 tbsp. ghee, and add almond paste. Keep stirring on medium flame, until it starts to thicken. Add sugar and continue stirring. Add remaining ghee by spoonfuls every minute and continue to stir. Cardamom powder can be added if needed for flavor. Keep stirring until it becomes very thick and leaves the side of the pan. Take greased plate. Pour the above onto it. When slightly cool, cut it into squares (or any other shape). Serve.
