ALMOND FLOUR KATLI | BADAM KATLI

Almond Katli is a delicious sweet prepared with Almond flour. Tasty Badam katli can be prepared in 10 minutes. Pressure cooker methods helps for this super-fast, tasty fudge with Indian touch. 

Gone are those days when I used to have lots of second thoughts to make tradition Indian sweet, scared to get the right string-like consistency. Now a days I started preparing sweets frequently. Be it a festival sweet or cooking for a sudden guest or party dessert, katli never goes wrong with a proper pressure cooker.

I had Almond burfi  when my mother-in- law visited us last year. MIL used to prepare this like a traditional South Indian sweet. I loved her version and the batch she makes vanishes in no time. I used to follow her method until my friend Kavitha showed me this way. RK sir’s pressure cooker method comes so handy .

Store-bought Flour minimizes the effort and time taken to powder the almonds. Not just for burfi flour is very handy can be used for lot of preparation. 

Almond flour Katli is so addictive, believe me you can’t stop with one. Almond flour katli makes a great healthy snack for the kids. Yes sugar is there but it this is one good way to make kids eat almonds.  Touch of saffron compliments the burfi taste.

Notes

1. Stir sugar syrup well before closing the lid
2. Use a proper 2 little cooker which whistles on/all time. Keep the flame on medium heaT
3. Releases the pressure immediately else the syrup might lose its consistency. I use fork to release the pressure. Pls be careful while releasing the pressure
4.  The recipe works perfectly. While trying to take picture/ video for the blog. I lost the consistency few times. This is what I did. If the dough breaks sprinkled little water and switch on the stove and cook till if becomes a non stick mass of dough. If the mixture is wet add a tbsp of cashew powder extra
5. Cardamom powder can be added for extra flavor
6.  For the mentioned quantity 4 whistles comes around 4 mins
7. You can double or alter the recipe. 4 whistle is the key
8.  You can roll the Almond katli in any surface for me the aluminum foil method suggested by my friend was a breeze
9. Whole Almonds can be used instead. Soak it in hot water and remove skin. Dry roast slightly to remove the moisture and powder it
10. Avoid keeping the cooker on maximum flame, sugar syrup might get burnt. Keep it between medium to high, make sure flame is not outside the cooker
11. Preferably use 2 liter cooker. If your are using 3 liter cooker make sure quantity is at-least ¼ of the cooker to avoid cooker from getting burnt
