Badam Burfi Recipe | Almond Burfi Recipe | Badam Katli Recipe with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Barfi Recipes are common classical Indian dessert recipes prepared for various festivals and religious occasions. Typically, these sweets are prepared with dry fruits or grains. One such classical dessert recipe is Badam Barfi Recipe, known for its richness and premium texture.

I have already shared the recipe for Kaju Katli, which is very similar to the badam burfi recipe. To be honest, I have prepared this recipe exactly the same as the kaju barfi, but replaced with almonds in place of cashews. In addition, I have also added dedicated coconut to have a creamy texture. But the main difference between these 2 recipes is the thickness of the barfi. With almond barfi, the thickness can vary and is completely open-ended. Whereas for kaju katli, it is always recommended to be thin in shape. Moreover, kaju katli has to be rolled immediately after you take it from the pan. But luckily, with almond barfi, you can knead it for 3-5 minutes after you switch off the flame.

Furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a perfect badam burfi recipe. Firstly, 1-string consistency is very important to get proper texture and taste. keep checking and stirring before you achieve a one-string consistency with sugar syrup. secondly, you have to be very attentive while stirring the badam paste with sugar syrup. switch off the flame immediately and pour into a butter paper. If you miss a fraction of a second, then you may end up with brittle powder. Lastly, I have ground the almonds to fine powder after soaking. you can also grind them with milk to fine-paste and pour them into the sugar syrup.

• also, make sure to get just 1 string consistency of sugar syrup. else it turns burfi hard and brittle.
• most noteworthy, use nonstick pan for easy and efficient badam katlis.
• and entire badam burfi has to be prepared on low flame.
• finally, instead of butter paper, you can also use a plastic sheet or greased plate to prepare badam burfi.
