Badam/Narial Barfi

A fine and tasty substitue of an original Khoya Barfi which we don’t get to eat here : ( So what do we do? we try and make something similar : ) Of course the Barfi we get in Pakistan or India has no match but this here is also not bad, infact really yummz and very nutty : )

I add lots of coconut to it at times when I am free of hay fever, here I din’t as my season is ON : ( It’s soft and chewy and …well delissssshhhh ……try it you’ll know : )

2cups Nido Powder

¼ cup +1 tblsp oil/margarine

1cup sugar

1egg (use ONLY half of it!!!!)

4-5 tblsp carnaton milk

2tsp cardamom powder

100gr coarse crushed Almonds

-use a non stick broad pan for it!!

-Fry the nido powder on a low heat till light pink

-pour the oil/margarine and mix steady

-add in the HALF beaten egg slowly and keep mixing

-it will seem a bit dry ,so drip in the carnation milk; mix mix
