How to make the recipe
Preparation
On a low heat, dry roast walnuts until hot. Cool completely.
Add them to a blender along with coconut and pulse it a few times. Do not blend them just pulse.
You will get a coarse powder. Ensure you don't blend them too long as they begin to release oil.
If the walnuts release oil then quit making the burfi as it will not work well.
How to make walnut burfi
Mix sugar and water in a heavy bottom utensil or non-stick.
Bring the syrup to a rolling boil.
Lower the flame and then add the walnut powder.
Quickly mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Cook on a medium flame till it begins to leave the sides and becomes a single mass.
Add ghee and cardamom powder.
At this stage you can grease your fingers and check if you can get a non-sticky ball.
Transfer this to a greased plate, parchment paper or wooden board.
Let it cool down for a while.
When the mix is still slightly hot, just knead well until smooth.
Then cover it with the parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll it to ¼ inch thickness.
Cool completely and then cut them to desired shapes.
Store them in a air tight jar.
