Almond Burfi | by Uma Iyer

Almond burfi is a popular Indian sweet made with the goodness of almonds, decorated with roasted almonds and pistachios. This simple recipe is quick to make and is one of my absolute favourites.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups full cream milk powder
• 300 ml Pure cream
• 1 can Nestle condensed milk (395 g)
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• 1/2 cup almond meal
• Roasted almonds, crushed pistachios, saffron (optional) & edible silver foil (optional)

Preparation:

• Mix the above ingredients together in a large microwave safe bowl and cook in 2-minute bursts in the microwave for 10 minutes. Add a few saffron strands (optional) at this stage and continue cooking for a further 2 minutes in 10-20 second bursts until it leaves ghee from the side (total cooking time should not exceed 12-14 minutes).
• Set in a greased plate and cut into squares. Garnish with crushed roasted almonds, crushed pistachios and edible silver foil (optional) for a perfect, professional finish!
