I am not very good at making a lot of sweets & especially at making Burfis that need to be cooked until it reaches a certain consistency
But making Katlis is a whole different ball game. You don't need the sugar to reach a 1 or a 2 string consistency so it is pretty much easy
Costco's Almond Flour makes Katli Making a 10-15 minute job .. I've been making these quite regularly as my kids seem to like them too.
Also, the amount of Ghee used here is almost negligible, making this a somewhat healthy-ish Sweet in comparison to others
Here is a quick video to help you see the right consistency of the dough. This is a fairly simple recipe that beginners can attempt too
You Will Need:
- 2 cups of Almond Flour (I've used Costco Almond Flour)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- A few strands of Saffron
Method:
In a wide sauté pan, add water, Sugar & Ghee & mix well to combine. Once the mixture comes to a boil, immediately add the almond flour, Saffron & cardamom powder & mix well to combine
Keep sautéing until it comes together into a dough. This should take 3-4 minutes to cook
Switch off the heat & let it cool down a bit. Once warm enough to handle, grease your palms with ghee & gently knead the dough on the kitchen counter, for a couple of minutes
Place the dough in-between 2 parchment papers & roll using a rolling pin. The thickness should be around 1/2 an inch
Trim the edges & cut into diamonds or squares .. The Katlis will firm up even more after a couple of hours
Store in an air tight container
