I am super excited and have already started my preparation for Diwali. I hope its the same for all of you. My parents and in laws keep telling me how Diwali was super exciting for them when they were young. It was during Diwali that they got a chance to buy new dress and eat lot of snacks and sweets at home, and participate in all festive celebrations.

It was so difficult during their times, as they were allowed to buy a pair of dress only twice a year and eat special snacks and sweets only during festivals and occasions. Our generation on the other hand has been fortunate to have access to the best the world has to offer, and personally I have no one but my parents to thank for – it was because of their sacrifices I was able to have a comfortable and enriching childhood.

Diwali for me means attending different poojas, to burn crackers/fireworks (which I completely stopped when I was in 6th grade – since then I have been making sure to the best of my ability not to pollute our environment) and to eat lots of sweets and snacks.

It is quite customary to offer an assortment of sweets and snacks to all guests who visit ones’ home or business during this festival. While these days many buy and stock store-bought snacks and sweets for Diwali, I am sure most of you will agree that they do not taste as good as their homemade counterparts. Homemade goodies are prepared with love and care, and in my opinion these two ingredients make homemade delicacies extra special.

From the time I am in the US, every year we prepare gulab jamun, nankhatai or gajar ka halwa (carrot pudding) and distribute it to our friends and colleagues on the occasion of Diwali. This year for a change, I wanted to make some barfi. In India, the most popular burfi is kaju burfi (cashew fudge) and majority of my friends here share it and is available in all Indian stores. Also, recently we received lot of goodies from India and kaju katli was one among them.

Therefore, I wanted to prepare something different, and surprise our friends. This Badam Pista Burfi  uses a combination of my favorite nuts (almonds and pistachios) and I am sure it’s many of yours favorite too. To make the fudge more crunchier, I have not finely ground pista and badam, instead just coarsely powdered in food processor. To make it creamier, I have added milk powder.

Few tips before you start preparing Badam Pista Burfi :

  • Make sure you roast the nuts on medium-low flame so that it does not get burnt.
  • To make it crunchier, I have coarsely powdered the nuts. If you do not want it crunchy you can make it into powder but make sure not to grind it too much that the nuts will start to release its oil.
  • Make sure you have sugar syrup of one string consistency to get chewy burfi. Else your barfi may become hard.
  • Once you add sugar syrup, make sure you stir continuously to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom.
  • To avoid any mess, I would suggest using a non-stick pan to prepare this recipe.
  • Add a pinch of salt if you are using unsalted nuts.
  • You can skip food color.

    Is there anyway this can be converted to a sugar-free recipe, i.e. with artificial sweeteners like trivia? Is it a must to have a syrupy sugar mix or will truvia mixed with water get me the same result?
