Badam Katli

First let remove the skin of almond, for that, bring a pot of water to boil and add the almond and let it boil for 2 mins.

Remove from the flame and drain the water from almond. Now the skin easily comes off when you rub the almond between your fingers, then place all the almonds on tissue paper to remove the moisture.

Put the almond into mixie jar and grind into coarse mixture.

Now take the sugar and water in a pan and put it on heat, let the sugar dissolves completely and then add the coarse badam powder.

Keep the flame in low and mix it continuously. It slowly starts to become a thick mass.

Once the mixture moves with your spoon, take a pinch of the mixture and roll it, if you can form the ball, then it's ready. Remove the flame.

In a plate, add a tsp of ghee and transfer the badam mixture into it and let it comes to hand bearable temperature, then start kneading the mixture until it becomes smooth and looks like dough.

Place the badam dough in between the parchment paper and roll into desired thickness.

Then cut into desired shape.

• No need to check the sugar consistency, once the sugar is dissolved, you can add the badam powder.
• Use pulse mode in the mixie to grind the badam into coarse mixture.
• Don't grind the badam for long time, otherwise the oil from badam would come out.
• If the dough is still sticky after kneading, then put it back on heat and stir until it reaches the correct consistency.
• If the dough is dry and couldn't hold the shape, add few tsp of milk and knead it. But that will reduce the self life of katli, so finish it off in few days.
• As this sweet is very rich, i cut into thin slices, but you can cut the katli as per your wish
