Badam Pista barfi is the most commonly made Burfi not only in northern India but even in other regions of country.Its a simple preparation but is rich in taste and flavour as it’s totally made of dry fruits without using any flour.The taste of Badam Burfi will also wholly depend on the quality of Almonds used as there are lots of varieties of Almond available but the most superb or superior of all are the Almonds of Kashmir.Kashmiri Almonds have a very different and unique sweetness and taste.Here we are making Badam Burfi from the basic  commonly available Almonds.

Ingredients:-

Method:-

1. Soak Almonds in hot boiling water for about 30 minutes.

• To check sugar consistency take a little syrup from back of the ladle over your index finger and check between your first finger and thumb.If you find it less sticky and see one thread then it’s perfect.
• If you are not getting the dough consistency don’t worry,keep on mixing over a low heat for sometime till you arrive at the desired stage.
