As we approach the last and festive part of the year, it is time to share an exciting recipe for all readers with a sweet tooth! I agree to be sent email.
This is probably the second dessert I have prepared with the Instant pot. I hope you are as excited as I was, to prepare Instant Pot Almond Katli or a.k.a ‘badam burfi’. It’s perfect for celebrating the upcoming festive time of the year in your own vegan way. The traditional recipe for this fudge-like sweet is whole milk powder, almonds, ghee, sugar, and cardamom. I am sharing the vegan version of the traditional version.
About this recipe
As the Indian festival, ‘Diwali” is approaching fast, I am hoping this recipe reaches you in time to plan for the big day. I am sure you and your family will love this new dessert after a sumptuous holiday meal. It has been a couple of years since I shared the recipe for almond squares made with whole almonds. That was the stovetop version. Apart from using the Instant Pot, there is another subtle change in today’s recipe. I used almond flour instead of almonds. This eliminates the need for soaking the almonds or peeling and cuts the cooking time down to minutes! Can you imagine preparing a dessert in less than 15 minutes?!
Variations
You could use the same procedure with cashews instead of almonds. Those are two Instant Pot dessert recipes that you can keep handy for big occasions. If you are not using an instant pot, make sure you cook the syrup to a ‘one string consistency’ to mimic the consistency you get in an Instant Pot.
Tips
Here are a few tips to prepare the picture-perfect Badam Burfi…
Take the right measurement of ingredients. Use the same cup size for the entire procedureStir sugar syrup well before closing the lid.Use fine almond flour and stir well to avoid lumpsUse Cardamom powder for extra flavorGrease the aluminum foil before rolling the burfi.
Special holidays, weddings, and festivals like Diwali/Deepavali in India are unthinkable without sweets, and burfi or barfi features prominently.
