Badam Kathlee

Ingredients:

Almonds - 1/4 kg (soak overnight and peel the skin)

Powdered sugar - 1/4 kg

Milk - 2 tbsp

Saffron Strands - a few



Method:

Wash the almond throughly after peeling it to remove the brownness. Grind it to a fine paste using milk. Mix the sugar powder to the ground paste and in a hard bottom pan cook the mixture stirring constantly using a large spatula. Do not stop stirring even if it splatters. Keep the stove in low flame, and keep stirring untill the mixture forms a soft lump and leaves the sides of the pan. Spread the cooked mixture in a ghee greased pan and roll it with a rolling pin. When warm, put slices. Decorate each slice with one or 2 strands of saffron. Can also place one or a half of badam on each piece. Remove and store when cold.



One can also make Burfi and Rolls using Badaam.
