Badam burfi recipe – Badam barfi recipe Easy to make almond burfi recipe with full video and detailed step-by-step pictorial instructions.
Badam burfi is an exotic sweet recipe made using badam, sugar, ghee, and little milk as the main ingredients. Almond burfi is a very simple and easy sweet. We don’t have to see any string consistency in this burfi recipe. My mother-in-law used to make cashew coconut burfi for Diwali.
This almond burfi I learnt from my cousin. Burfi is a compulsory one we make for Diwali. Also, this can be made for Holi or Rakshabandan festival too. This burfi is made by soaking almonds in hot water and grinding it with milk. Later we add sugar and stir this until the right consistency is reached.

A quicker way to peel the skin from almonds are, heat a cup of water in the microwave for a minute and then add 20 pieces of almonds and heat it again in the microwave for a minute and a half and wait to cool the water a little and peel away. No need to wait for 20 mins.
Hi Jeyashri,
I tried this recipe over the weekend. I could not cut it into pieces, what do you think went wrong?
It tastes very nice but we are eating it as Badam Halwa… LOL
Is it that I added too much ghee?
Thanks
Shweta
Shweta sorry for the delayed reply, the reason may be you have taken this from the pan earlier. even if you take out and cut , if you feel it is like halwa add it back to the pan and cook for few more minutes. Then transfer it to a plate
it looks and sounds tasty.i'm definitely trying it at home 🙂
I tried the recipe for the first time and it came out very well. Thanks a lot 🙂
Looks yummy. I plan on trying this out. Thanks for posting.
Can I try this recipe without peeling off the almond skin
No you have to peel the skin else it will be bitter

Can I try palm sugar instead of sugar
One quick question for how many days we can keep it out side in air tight container.
Thk u.
This can be stored for a week
mam,I tried this and my hubby loved it.Thank u so much.however,while stirring it did not turn watery as shown in your video.May i know d reason pls..
Priya
Once the sugar starts melting it will turn liquidy, not sure why it didn't come like that for you.
pls reply whether palm sugar ie,panangarkandu can be tried instead of sugar
I am not sure . You can try that
Hi I tried it two times and one time it was chewy and now it is like a coarse powder ..I added more ghee and made ladoo :p how to get the correct consistency.. 🙁
I could guess you could have either cooked it more, as it will give a coarse powder or cooked less which gives a chewy texture.
While cooking, check the consistency by taking a small portion of the burfi and cool it and see, if you could make a stiff ball out of that mixture then it is perfect.
Hi Jeyashri really appreciate your site as this is such a close reference to everything my mom taught me from recipe to the measurements on the traditional snacks and sweets. Any idea on how much this badam burfi yields in kilogram or pound?
Thank you so much Gayathri. I am not sure,but i think must be around 1/2 kg.
