Badam Burfi recipe i have posted long back with kesar.Do Check the recipe. To make this badam Halwa, I have blanched the almonds, grinded it into a smoot paste with milk and then made badam halwa.
If you want to keep this halwa for 3 -4 days You can blanch the almond,toasted them lightly and then powdered it. Almond powder lends a delicate and non-sticky taste to the halwa, exactly like the one we get in sweet stalls. The taste and the shelf life of this badam burfi is much more than the one made with milk or almond paste. You can use rose water or saffron for added flavor, I did used saffron.
You can also use store bought blanched or silvered almonds for this.
