  • Badam burfi is ready. You can pack this for friends and relatives for diwali.       almond-fudge-recipe  Notes:
  • Do not add more milk while grinding and make the badam paste watery. Then it will take a lot of time to make the burfi.
  • The badam peels can be added to Thogaiyals instead of discarding it.
  • You can add yellow food colour to the burfi while making
