Here is a breakfast recipe that is easy to prepare and delicious to eat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almonds (badaam)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- A few strands of saffron (optional)
- Chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions:
- Begin by blanching the almonds. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the almonds to it. Let them boil for about 2-3 minutes. Drain the hot water and transfer the almonds to a bowl of cold water. Let them sit for a couple of minutes, then peel off the skin. Pat dry the almonds using a clean kitchen towel.
- Once the almonds are dry, grind them into a fine powder using a blender or food processor. You can also use a mortar and pestle to manually grind the almonds, but it will take more time and effort.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the almond powder and sauté it in the ghee for about 3-4 minutes until it releases a nice aroma.
- Gradually add the milk to the pan while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps. Keep stirring and cook the mixture until it thickens. This will take approximately 10-12 minutes. The mixture should start leaving the sides of the pan.
- Now, add the sugar to the pan and mix well. Continue cooking the mixture on low heat until it thickens further and starts to come together like a dough. This will take another 10-12 minutes.
- At this stage, add the cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using) to the mixture. Mix well to incorporate the flavors evenly.
- Grease a square or rectangular tray with ghee. Transfer the barfi mixture to the greased tray and spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon. You can also garnish the top with some chopped pistachios for added flavor and presentation.
- Allow the barfi to cool down completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate it for at least 2-3 hours to set properly.
- After the barfi has set, remove it from the refrigerator and cut it into small diamond-shaped or square pieces using a sharp knife.
- Your delicious badaam ki barfi is now ready to be served! Enjoy the rich and creamy almond flavor with your family and friends.
Tips
- Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning.
- Keep stirring continuously while cooking the mixture to avoid lumps and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences. You can add more or less sugar depending on how sweet you want the barfi to be.
- If you want a smoother texture, you can grind the almonds into a fine powder before cooking them.
- Store the barfi in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and flavor for a longer duration.
conclusion
Badaam ki barfi is a delightful sweet that will surely be loved by everyone. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving something sweet, this recipe is perfect for satisfying your dessert cravings. Enjoy!
