Badam Pistaz Barfi (Sweet for Indian Feast)

[Guest guest]

Here is a simple Indian form of candy similar in consistency to fudge.

 

Almond and Pistachio Candy (Badam Pistaz Barfi)

 

4 tsp (20 ml) vegetable ghee

4 cups (1 L) soy milk

1 cup (250 ml) sugar

1 cup (250 ml) blanched almonds, pulverized in a

blender or food processor

1 cup (250 ml) unsalted pistachios, pulverized in

a blender or food processor

1/2 tsp (2 ml) almond extract

 

Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) pie plate with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of the vegetalbe ghee

and set aside. Bring the soy milk to a boil in a heavy saucepan over high heat.

Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered until the milk is the

consistency of heavy cream, 30 to 40 minutes. Add the sugar and cook

10 minutes. Add the ground almonds and pistachios and cook 10

minutes, stirring frequently. Add the ghee and stir until the mixture

is thick enough to draw away from the sides of the pan. Remove from

the heat and stir in the almond extract. Pour into the pie plate and

spread with a spatula. Let cool for about 30 minutes and cut into 24

squares or diamonds. Makes 24 candies.
