1. Prepare the Almond Paste:
- Start by peeling the boiled almonds.
- Grind the peeled almonds with fresh milk to form a thick, smooth paste.
2. Cook the Almond Paste:
- In a non-stick pan, add the almond paste.
- Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the almonds, stirring continuously.
3. Mix and Cook the Ingredients:
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and green cardamom powder to the almond paste.
- Mix well and continue to cook on low to medium heat.
- Cook until the mixture starts to stick together, leaves the sides of the pan, and gathers in the center, stirring continuously.
4. Incorporate the Ghee:
- Gradually add ghee to the mixture, a little at a time, stirring continuously.
- Ensure all the ghee is absorbed, and the mixture becomes smooth and soft.
5. Set the Barfi:
- Grease a baking tray with ghee.
- Spread the cooked mixture evenly in the tray.
- Sprinkle the sliced pistachios and almonds evenly over the top.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into desired pieces and serve your delicious Badam Barfi.
Tips for Perfect Badam Barfi:
- Soaking and Peeling: Ensure the almonds are properly soaked and peeled to achieve a smooth paste.
- Continuous Stirring: Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan and to achieve a smooth texture.
- Setting Time: Allow the barfi to cool completely before cutting to get clean, sharp pieces.
