How to Make Badam Burfi
Step 1 – Prepare the Ingredients
Heat a pan on low heat, add almond flour and semolina (rava) to the pan, and roast it for 2-3 minutes or until it turns evenly golden. Transfer the roasted mixture to a plate.
Step 2 – Make Barfi Layer
In the same pan, combine water and sugar to make sugar syrup.
Add cardamom powder and a pinch of saffron strands to the water and sugar mixture.
Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to let the saffron release its color and thicken slightly.
Add the roasted semolina, milk powder, and roasted almond flour to the sugar syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
Add a tablespoon of ghee to the mixture and mix everything well.
Step 3 – Setting the Barfi Layer
Spread a small amount of ghee or oil on a tray or a mold. It will prevent the barfi from sticking to it.
Spread the almond barfi mixture evenly in the greased tray. Flatten it using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 4 – Sugar Syrup and Nuts Layer
In a separate saucepan, add sugar and water. Cook till the sugar melts, then turn off the heat.
Add the roughly chopped nuts to the sugar syrup. You can use a variety of nuts like almonds, cashews, or pistachios for added crunch and flavor.
Step 5 – Assembling and Setting
Immediately, spread the crunchy nut mixture over the almond burfi layer. Make sure that the nut mixture is spread evenly.
Let the barfi set for 4-5 hours or overnight. After 4-5 hours, gently touch the barfi to confirm that it is fully set. Cut the burfi into desired shapes before serving!
Optionally, you can apply silver vark / silver leaf for a festive touch.
Tips to Make the Best Badam Burfi
- Be careful not to over-roast almond flour, as it can affect the taste.
- When spreading the barfi mixture in the tray, aim for an even thickness.
- Let the badam burfi set in the refrigerator for as long as you can. This will make sure that the burfi is well-set and has a firm consistency.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean and smooth cuts. This will get you neat pieces of the almond burfi.
- Applying silver vark / silver leaf is optional but adds an elegant touch. If using, apply it once the barfi has fully set.
- Store the Kesar Badam Barfi in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent drying.
