Just wanted to say Thank you for the badam mithai recipe, just tried it and came out very well. I reduced the proportions by half as my mithai skills are not very good but now am thinking I should have gone ahead with the full quantity. Thank you very much and happy spring Nagashree Dear Indira

I am envious of all the desi veggies you seem to be able to grow in TX (I think?). As for the badam halwa, I just wanted to mention something if you don't mind. Instead of soaking almonds for 4 hours (which I used to do), I now boil plain water and drop almonds in it and turn off stove immediately. Then I drain water and take out almonds within a minute or two, the skin just literally slides off the almonds. No adverse effects on the end product. If you feel there is moisture in almonds, then just pat dry with a clean towel/paper towel before powdering it. Some people grind it into paste with little water anyway for the halwa, then moisture is not even an issue in that case. Wonderful blog and pics, tons of recipes.

Tried out the Burfi. The Burfi was still soft after cooling. Can you please tell me what could have possibly gone wrong? I have been following your Blog for a couple of years. Nice Recipes. Very practical and Andhra Cuisine well presented. Kittaya is fluffy and cute. Thank you. Voracious Blog Reader <i>Hello VBR, namaskaram. It could be either sugar syrup wasn't at the right consistency, or the heat was turned off too soon before the burfi had a chance to leave the sides of the pan and come together. I hope you try again with perfect results. Thanks for the good words about Kittaya. -Indira</i> Hallo Indira,

Sireesha: you sure can. No peeling of the skins, just soak to rehydrate and then grind, it's actually a good idea for easy burfi making.
