Our recipe for Badam Burfi is not only tasty but also healthy. Give it a try and share your comments with us!

For the perfect Badam Burfi, start by soaking the almonds in a cup of cold water before removing their skin to make the process easier. Be careful not to grind the almonds for too long, as this may cause oil to ooze out (less than 10 seconds, 2-3 times is ideal).

If you feel that the milk isn't sufficient, add 1-2 more tablespoons, but the paste should be slightly coarse, not a fine paste. When rolling the dough, ensure it is warm and roll it gently to avoid sticking to the butter paper and making it difficult to cut into pieces.

In conclusion, try this healthy and delicious Badam Burfi and let us know your thoughts!
