Badam Katli

My heart says India is a land of festivals. Festive season starts with Makar Sankranti in the calendar year. Followed by Mahashivratri and Holi. Then comes Navratre, Ramnavmi in April and then Akshaya tritiya. Later comes sawan in July -Aug. Shravan Purnima, Varalakshmi vrat & Rakhi. Teej , Janamashtami, Gowri puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, Diwali & Karwa chauth. The whole year is lined up with festivals. What is life without a celebration? Sweets like badam katli or badam burfi, kaju katli , anjeer roll rule the roost in most sweet shops due to this high demand on festivals.

Did you know, you can easily make them at home? Once you start making it at home you will always find store bought almond burfi has lesser nuts and more sweetness. Most sweet shops are famous for their fudge. However, what do you do when you don't have sweet shop nearby. People of all ages love diamond shaped pieces of dry fruit paste. Make this easy badam burfi at home, a day earlier to any party. All you need is almonds. It is also healthier than cake.
