Instructions
- Soak almonds in hot water for 2o mins. Now grind them into a smooth paste with little water. I grounded them with the skin. Place them aside.
- Sift the flour. Add salt and baking powder.
- Rub the ghee and flour with your palm. It should resemble like breadcrumbs.
- Now add the grounded almond paste. Don't add too much milk else it will become too soft.
- Start kneading a dough nor too soft nor too firm. Cover with a damp cloth and keep aside for 15 mins.
- Make lemon sized balls.
- Roll into flat thin discs. Spread some ghee over it.
- Now wrap and make a semi circle.
- Spread some ghee again and wrap again into a triangle shape. Just roll with a roller gently over it.
- Boil sugar and water until mixture thickens and reaches string like consistency. Add saffron strands.
- Take oil in a deep vessel and deep fry triangular badam puris few at a time. Fry until they are crisp and brown from both sides.
- Place them on absorbent napkin to absorb excess oil. Dip the deep fried badam puris into sugar syrup only for a minute.
- Don't keep in the syrup for too long else they will become soft. Alternatively instead of sugar syrup just toss them into powdered sugar.
- Now place them on a serving plate and garnish with almond, pistachio flakes. Serve them warm or cold.
Notes
- I have used half ghee and half oil for deep frying. You could use oil.
- The dough shouldn't be too soft nor too firm.
- Don't keep fried badam puris in sugar syrup for long time else they would get soft and soggy.
