badam burfi recipe | almond burfi recipe | badam katli recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. basically the dish is prepared by soaking almond in warm water which is followed by de skinning them. it is then grounded to fine powder, or even to thick paste with milk. later the paste is then mixed with sugar paste which basically gives a barfi or any desired shape. katli recipes are usually prepared during festival like diwali, navaratri and even during ganesh chaturthi.

i have already shared the recipe of kaju katli, which is very similar to badam katli recipe. to be honest i have prepared this recipe exactly same the kaju barfi, but replaced with almonds in place of cashews. but the main difference between these 2 recipes is with thickness of barfi. with almond barfi the thickness can vary and is completely open ended. whereas, for kaju katli it is always recommended to be thin in shape. moreover, kaju katli has to be rolled immediately after you take it from pan. but luckily with almond barfi, you can knead it after 3-5 minutes after you switch of the flame.

furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a perfect badam katli recipe. firstly, 1 string consistency is very important to get proper texture and taste. keep checking and stirring before you achieve one string consistency with sugar syrup. secondly, you have to be very attentive while stirring the badam paste with sugar syrup. switch off the flame immediately and pour into a butter paper. if you miss a fraction of seconds, than you may end up with brittle powder. lastly, i have grounded the almonds to fine powder after soaking. you can also ground them with milk to fine paste and pour them onto sugar syrup.

• finally, instead of butter paper you can also use plastic sheet or greased plate to prepare badam burfi / badam katli.
