Barfi or katli is any Indian sweet lover's weakness. Problem with them is that they are too sweet for even barfi fans like my husband. That too sweetened with (who knows what kind of and how much) refined sugar. You could use a healthier version or a pure form of sugar. Even better would be if you could make a quick'n'healthy alternative for the barfi itself. These awesome barfis are made with homemade almond butter and sweetened only with dried figs. It is sweetened just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth and at the same time you get the nutritional benefits of figs. Above all, you won't believe it is so easy to make !!
Ingredients:
- Almonds - 2 cups (or 1 cup almond butter)
- Pink himalayan salt - a pinch (for the almond butter)
- Figs - 2 cups (chopped)
- Cardamom - 4-5 (skin removed and powdered)
- Virgin coconut oil - 2 Tbs (optional)
