Almond pieces/ barfi


Ingredients-
Almond one cup  blanched, peeled, dried  well & powdered
Sugar 1 cup              ghee/ unsalted butter 1 tbsp              ½ tsp cardamom pdr.

Method-
 Heat sugar in a pan with just enough water to cover it, keep stirring, lest it burns. Once it boils well & comes up frothy, add almond powder little at a time, stirring well. When the mixture comes clean from the sides of the pan, it means it is done, add the cardamom pdr, mix well & spread it on a greased plate, cool & cut into desired pieces.

Tips- to powder cardamom, put a few pieces in a mixer along with the skin, add some sugar & powder & this can be stored to use as & when needed.

2) As almonds are quite expensive, those who can’t afford that much almonds, no problem, you may add 2-3 big potatoes boiled, peeled & smashed well to the almond mixture, or no you get potato powder that can be used in almost equal quantity to almonds & proceed in the same way.
