Ingredients
Scale
- 20 badam / almonds
- 2 cup maida
- 2 tbsp rava (fine)
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp ghee (hot)
- water (for kneading)
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- few saffron
- pinch saffron food colour
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Take 20 almonds in a bowl and soak them in hot water for 10 minutes.
- Peel off the skin and transfer the almonds to a mixer jar.
- Add a little water and grind to a smooth almond paste. Keep aside.
- In a large bowl, take 2 cup maida, 2 tbsp fine rava, ½ tsp turmeric, and ½ tsp salt. Mix well.
- Add 3 tbsp hot ghee and crumble the flour mixture well using your fingers.
- Check the texture by pressing the flour in your palm. It should hold its shape slightly.
- Now add the prepared badam paste and mix well.
- Add water as required and knead into a soft dough. You can also use milk instead of water for a richer flavour.
- Grease the dough with a little oil, cover, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a pan, take 2 cup sugar, 1 cup water, few saffron, and pinch of food colour. Mix well.
- Boil the mixture until it reaches 1-string consistency. This helps the puri stay flaky for longer.
- Add cardamom powder and 1 tsp of lemon juice. Mix well. The lemon juice helps prevent the sugar syrup from crystallising. Keep the syrup warm.
- After the dough has rested, pinch out a small ball-sized portion.
- Roll it out like a small poori.
- Fold it into a triangle and press the edges gently.
- Flatten it slightly, leaving one side a little loose.
- Insert a clove to pin the fold so the layers open beautifully while frying.
- Once the oil is hot, keep the flame on low and carefully drop the shaped puri into the oil.
- Deep fry on low flame until the puri turns golden, crisp, and flaky.
- Remove from the oil and drain excess oil.
- Immediately dip the fried badam puri into the warm 1-string sugar syrup.
- Let it soak for about 5 minutes so the syrup is absorbed well.
- Badam Puri is now ready to serve.
- Enjoy this flaky, crispy, and syrup-coated Badam Puri Recipe.
