In a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan, add the ricotta cheese, condensed milk, and sugar.
Turn the heat to medium and stir continuously to combine the ingredients into a smooth mixture to avoid any lumps.
As the mixture heats up, it will begin to loosen and then thicken. Continue stirring for about 20-25 minutes to avoid sticking or burning.
Once the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan, add the ghee and stir well. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until it forms a soft dough-like consistency.
Lower the heat and mix in the cardamom powder and rosewater. Stir to combine evenly.
Turn off the heat and immediately transfer the mixture to a greased or parchment-lined square pan. Flatten it evenly using a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios or almonds on top and gently press them in to set.
Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 1-2 hours to set firmly.
Once set, cut the burfi into desired shapes like squares or diamonds.
If desired, place a piece of edible silver leaf on each burfi for a festive touch.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.
