I am making this recipe for me as a postpartum snack. So I have added all the nuts, you can skip adding all the nuts I have used or add all of them. And it is really is up to you, but trust me if you decide to add all the nuts, than this burfi not only tastes delicious but also is very healthy. I am due in a week and I am so thrilled.
