Presenting a family favorite, Badam Pista Burfi – an aromatic Indian dessert with a delightful balance of a mild sweet taste and a light fudgy texture. Badam and Pista Burfi is a very rich and delicious dessert with the goodness of almonds and Pista. It will be loved and cherished by everyone in your family. It is a perfect recipe to begin your Diwali celebrations and bring joy into your lives. I like to add saffron which gives a nice yellow color and divine smell.
