Notes

  • firstly, use fresh badam and pista, else the burfi will not last long.
  • also soak the badam well, or blanch the badam for easy removal of skin.
  • also, make sure to get just 1 string consistency of sugar syrup. else it turns burfi hard and brittle.
  • most noteworthy, use nonstick pan for easy and efficient burfi.
  • finally, instead of butter paper you can also use plastic sheet or greased plate to prepare pista badam barfi recipe**.**
