DirectionsDrain the almonds, wash them in fresh water and then peel them. Keep aside.Rinse the almonds once more to remove any traces of the "brownish" color. With the help of a few tablespoons of milk, grind the almonds to a fine paste. Try using as little milk as possible. Take a large, heavy skillet and cook the paste and sugar in it over medium heat. Use a large handled spatula or spoon to stir the mixture. Take care to keep stirring constantly as otherwise the mixture may stick to the bottom and get burnt. This will impart a bitter taste to the almond paste. There may be some spattering in the initial stages. When a soft lump starts forming and starts leaving the sides of the skillet easily, take it off the fire. Grease both the rolling pin and a clean work surface with ghee (clarified butter). Place the lump on the greased surface and quickly start rolling it while it is still warm to 1/5”thickness. If using silver foil, press it lightly on the rolled dough. Mark out diamond shapes with a sharp knife. When almost cool, prise out the diamond wedges with the help of a sharp wide spatula. Cool it completely. Then store the barfis in between sheets of butter paper. Author Comments* 250 grams / 85 grams/cup = 2.94 cups** 1 cup |
