Equipment

  • Thick Bottomed Pan
  • Wet Blender
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Almonds 200 ml = 1 cup
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 TBSP Ghee
  • 1/2 cup Warm Milk
  • 10 saffron threads

Instructions
 

  • Add 2 cups of water and boil. Switch off the flame, add the almonds and let them soak in it for 10 mins. Meanwhile soak the saffron in the warm milk.
  • Once the almonds have soaked, peel them and keep aside. Again add them to the hot water and soak them for 1 hour more (no typo here, its soaked again after peeling and that gives a lot of fluffy almond meal - so don’t skip this step)
  • After an hour, drain the peeled almonds, and puree them with milk + saffron into a very smooth paste without any lumps / almond bits.
  • Before you begin the next step, grease a parchment paper (about 12 inch square should do) with a very light coating of ghee and keep aside
  • In a non stick pan, heat the ghee and add the ground almond paste. stir once and add the powdered sugar.
  • Now stir on a very low flame continuously for 10-12 mins without leaving the pan (your workout for the arms has just begun :D), don’t leave the stove else the paste will be burnt.
  • Once it starts leaving the pan effortlessly and comes to round off the edges (as seen in the collage above), transfer to a cool plate. Let it cool for 1-2 mins till you can handle the hot dough.
  • Now transfer to the greased parchment paper and roll into a round thinnish (not too thin like the Kaju Katli) disc.Lightly grease the rolling pin too if required.
  • While still warm, make desired shapes with a pizza cutter or a sharp greased knife.
  • Rest for 2-3 hours (resist tasting while its cooling :D) and take out the barfis and store in an airtight container without the pieces overlapping each other.
  • These keep for 7-8 days under refrigeration and upto 1 day without refrigeration.
