Soak the dried figs (anjeer) in the milk for 1-2 hours.
Grind the soaked dried figs (anjeer) along with milk into a smooth paste.
Gather all the dry nuts (almonds, pistachio, pepita, sunflower seeds).
Chop and grind them into a smooth powder.
In a non-stick pan heat ghee.
Add the dried fig (anjeer) paste. Roast it for 7-8 minutes until all the moisture dries out.
After 7-8 minutes the mixture dries out.
Add milk powder to the mixture.
Add the powdered dry nuts (almonds, pistachio, sunflower seeds, pepita) and raw sugar to it. Adding sugar is optional. You can add the dry nuts as per your choice.
Mix them all together and saute again for 3-4 minutes till the sugar moisture dries out. Now add the cardamom powder to it.
Now pour the cooked mixture into the greased tray. Spread them evenly. I had used two trays.
Garnish them with sliced almonds and pistachios.
Let the tray rest for 3o minutes. The anjeer badam barfi is ready. Cut it into pieces and serve. You can store it in the fridge for a week.
