Almond Burfi is a popular Indian dessert that is made with ground almonds, sugar, and milk, combined with aromatic spices and heated in a non-stick skillet to create a melt-in-your-mouth dessert treat. It is often served at special occasions and celebrations, and can be easily modified with the addition of saffron, coconut, or other flavors. The sweet and nutty flavor makes it a perfect end to any meal or a snack any time of the day.

Instructions

1.	Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and dry roast the almonds until fragrant and lightly browned.

3.	Drain the water and discard the peels.
4.	Grind the peeled almonds in a food processor or blender to a fine powder.
5.	In the same skillet, heat the milk and sugar over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
6.	Add the almond powder and butter to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and comes together.
7.	Add the ground cardamom and mix well.
8.	Pour the mixture into a greased dish and spread evenly.
9.	Cut into diamond-shaped pieces while still warm.
10.	Let cool completely, then serve and enjoy!
