Almond Burfi


This recipe belongs to my Facebook friend Aparna Mallya.

Ingredients:
1 (heaped) cup almond
1/2 cup milk
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup ghee


Method:
Soak almonds in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain water. Peel the almonds and discard the skin.
Grind almonds with milk into a thick, smooth paste (add more milk if required).
In a large deep bottomed pan, transfer the almond paste. Pour 1 tbsp ghee and mix well. Turn the heat to medium and keep stirring for a few minutes.

Add sugar and stir on medium heat for about 20 minutes. Scrape the sides as you mix. The mixture will start thickening and will leave the sides of the pan. Don't remove from heat until the mixture stars resembling chapathi dough. Now add the rest of the ghee, switch the gas and mix well.
Transfer the mixture to greased plate. With a spatula spread it across. You can smoothen it with the back of a glass. Immediately cut into  squares. Allow to cool for a bit and transfer to an airtight container.
