badam burfi | kesar badam burfi — wipe off the moisture to blend it easily

Transfer to the blender jar
Blend it nicely, keep aside (cant blend it fine powder, but blend it fine as possible as you can).
while blending, just give a pulse for 10 seconds, and open the lid mix it with spoon, then do the same till you blend

In a pan take 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, then turn on the heat

when the mixture thickens, Add in 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder and 1 tbsp of slivered almonds and mix well

Note:

while grinding the almonds, wipe off the moisture well, it makes it blend it easily
An alternate method of blending: you can blend the almonds with the saffron milk easily to get smooth texture almond paste. (you need not wipe off the moisture from it in this method) As I want the saffron strands to be visible in the burfi, I blend the almonds separately.
Ingredients alteration: You can skip the saffron, you can blend milk and almond together, in that case, add 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder
pan for making burfi: use a heavy-bottomed pan, or non-stick pan making burfi when you use a heavy-bottomed pan, you need more ghee

If you are using greased container instead of greaseproof-paper, mark the pieces in the container, then allow it to cool for 1 hour, then take off the pieces
Even after 1 hour, if the mixture didn’t solidify into burfi, don’t worry, again reheat it in low flame for 5 minutes, then spread it over the container, then follow the step 13, 14, 15 again.
