Walnut Barfi
Indian sweet made with walnuts and almonds
Ingredients
- ¾ cup walnuts
- ¼ cup almond / badam
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tsp ghee
Instructions
- Roast the walnuts and almonds for 4-5 minutes. Allow it cool and grind them into smooth powder. Grease a plate/tray with ghee and keep it ready.
- Heat a non stick pan over medium heat and add sugar and water. Mix well till sugar dissolves completely. Keep stirring and cook till one string consistency is reached. (See Notes)
- Now add the walnut-badam powder and mix well. Keep stirring till the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan.
- At this stage add ghee and keep stirring until it thickens and forms a mass. Remove from heat and immediately pour into the greased tray.
- Flatten the mixture with a spatula and allow it cool for few minutes. Cut into your desired shape while it is slightly warm.
Notes
- To check one string consistency, wet your fingers and take a drop of syrup in between your thumb and index finger. If a single string is formed between the fingers, it means syrup has reached one string consistency.
- The barfi was not too sweet, so if you want more sweet add 1 cup sugar.
