Badam Katli,dussehra special recipes

Ingredients:

1 cup almonds (badam)
1/2 cup sugar
A few saffron strands (optional)
1/4 cup water
A pinch of cardamom powder
Ghee (clarified butter) for greasing

Instructions:

1. Blanched Almonds:

To blanch the almonds, bring water to a boil and add the almonds. Allow them to boil for about 1-2 minutes.
Drain the almonds and rinse them with cold water.
Gently press each almond between your fingers to remove the skin.
Allow the blanched almonds to dry for a few hours or overnight.

2. Almond Paste:

Grind the blanched almonds into a fine paste without adding any water. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure a smooth paste.
If you choose to use saffron, soak it in a tablespoon of warm milk, and add it to the almond paste.

3. Sugar Syrup:

In a non-stick pan, combine the sugar and water. Heat it over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

4. Combining Almond Paste and Sugar Syrup:

Add the almond paste to the sugar syrup and stir continuously over medium-low heat.
Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This can take around 10-15 minutes.

5. Cardamom Flavor:

Add a pinch of cardamom powder for flavor and stir well.

6. Shaping Badam Katli:

Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes until it's warm to the touch but not too hot.
Grease a plate or a clean surface with a little ghee.
Place the almond-sugar mixture on the greased surface and knead it while it's still warm. If it becomes too cool, it will be difficult to shape.
Roll out the mixture into a smooth, thin circle using a rolling pin.

7. Cutting:

Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled mixture into diamond or square shapes. You can also use cookie cutters for different shapes.

8. Serving:

Allow the Badam Katli to cool completely before serving.

Your homemade Badam Katli is ready to be enjoyed. It's a delightful, melt-in-the-mouth sweet treat, perfect for celebrating Dussehra and other festive occasions.
