Badam Barfi
Some of the sweet dishes require long preparation and because of that we do not try them so often. Here is the recipe of this sweet dish which is very quick. One does not have to do special grocery for it as all the ingredients are available in your pantry.Diwali is around the corner so let us celebrate with this quick 20 minutes barfi.
Ingredients:
One cup samolina
one cup grated almonds
one cup milk
one cup ghee
Two cup sugar
A pinch of saffron
8 cardamom pods
Grate the almonds in a grinder. Soak the saffron in water. Powder the cardamom. Keep a greased plate or tray ready to set the barfi.
In a thick bottomed or non stick pan place samolina ,ghee,powdered almonds,and sugar. Now keep the pan on stove with a medium heat and add milk. Start stirring the mixture intermittently. Taking care that it does not stick to the bottom. The samolina and almonds will start getting cooked in ghee.Within ten minutes good aroma will
be released. Add saffron and cardamom powder. Next five minutes when it becomes of a thick consistency.How much thick is a question for all.So the indicator is that while stirring it stir it from bottom to top and when the caramalising process of sugar is visible then switch off the flame.There will be a formation of net like texture different from top layer.Now for 1 to 2 minutes stir well to make the mixture homogenous .Spread on a greased plate.
Within ten minutes cut into desired size. Store in an air tight container.
Tips:
1. Milk should be added after switching on the flame otherwise the samolina will start dissoving in milk and will result in a sticky mixture.
2. If it is cooked for more time than the result will be crumbs instead of barfi.So flame should be switched off before the mixture starts drying.
