Almond Cashew Burfi

October 20th, 2008 filed under Desserts, Vegan

Almond Walnut Cashew Burfi is a healthy, quality substitute for candy that your entire family will enjoy.

Recipe will make 24 pieces.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup cashew nuts
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 1 tablespoon sliced almonds to garnish

Method

1. Dry grind the walnuts, cashews and almonds in a food processor.
2. Dry roast the groundnuts in a frying pan on low medium heat.
3. Roast them just enough so that the nuts start to give off an aroma. It will take about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Put the sugar and water together in a saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a boil to make the 1 thread syrup or on the candy thermometer it should reach 230 degrees F.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the cardamom powder.
6. Add the nuts to the syrup and mix, and then spread over a greased 8-inch plate. Note: don’t let the syrup cool off. It must be spread while still hot.
7. Wait a few minutes until burfi is set but still soft.
8. Then cut the burfi into any shape you like (such as square, diamond, triangle).
9. Garnish each piece of burfi with sliced almonds while the burfi is still soft.
10. Allow the burfi to cool for about an hour to dry and hold its shape. Now you can remove the burfi from the plate.
11. Burfi can be stored for a month.

Variations

1. Proportion of nuts can be changed to your choice.
2. You may also add pistachios and coconut powder.

   Dear Manjula Aunty,

   Please accept my warm regards.

   I’ve tried your recipes at various occassions. First was “mohan thal” that I prepared on Diwali/Govardhan puja occassion and distributed to friends. I also tried other recipes like sandesh and on occassion of Rama Navami – some snacks that too I wanted to distributed to friends.

   I also offer all foodstuff to the Lord before we eat or distribute as I am an ISKCON devotee.

   Your recipes are great. Everyone has appreciated what I prepared with your recipes. I appreciate the details that you give in your recipes and which make a big difference in results. Your ability to be so detail oriented in your recipes is a unique skill.

   I am sure I’m going to try many more of your recipes.

   Thanks very much.

   Regards,
   Divyadrsti
