🪔 This year, it will be a bit different because of COVID-19. We are only celebrating within our family and keeping the group small. However, I'm still planning to make yummy dishes to enjoy the festivities. 🪔
My sister and I 💓 classic Indian sweets like Kaju Katli or Kaju burfi which is made with cashews. I never thought 🤔 about making the nutty burfis at home.

Almond Burfi |
My mom decided to give it a try. Instead of making Kaju burfi, she made Almond burfi. She also wanted to make a sweet that is easy and requires few ingredients and calories 😀.
Costco to the rescue 👍! She found Almond flour at Costco and made the sweet without making the flour herself. Read below to see how easy it is to make this yummy dessert. 😋
- 1-1/4 cups Almond flour (we used Kirkland brand)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup room temperature water
- 1/4 cup Mavva/Kova (milk powder) optional if not use 1&1/2 cups of almond flour
- 6 to 7 cardamom, seeded and powdered
- 1 tsp of ghee (clarified butter)
- 4 to 5 pistachios, finely chopped
3) Remove from heat and immediately press the burfi dough onto wax paper evenly that is rubbed with ghee to help make it non-stick. Make sure there aren't any bumps. Use a rolling pin gently to press down and adjust to even sides to a rectangle shape.
