Almonds - 1 cup
There are 2 types of almonds available in the market, one that are a little heavy in weight and the other
that are light in weight and the quantity of almond rogan is less than them and they are a little cheap.
For making almond katli you can use any type.
Both the almonds will make a delicious almond katli.
Powdered sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 2 tbsp

Saffron threads (kesar) - 10 or 12
To make almond katli, we will firstly soak the almonds and peel them.
Add 2 cups of water in a boiler.
Let the water bowl.
Once the water is boiled, add almonds to it.
Turn off the flame.
Cover the boiler and keep it aside for about 5 minutes.
On the other side, add saffron to the milk so that it leaves its colour.
Our almonds are now fluffy and we will be able to peel them easily.
Take out the almonds in a bowl containing cold water.
Now peel off the almonds in this way.
Peel off all the almonds similarly.
Now once again put all the almonds in a bowl containing hot water.
Cover them and keep it for 1 or 1 ½ hour.

Let us grate the almonds.
Take out the almonds from the bowl and add them to the grinder.
Our saffron milk is also ready. Add the saffron milk as well to the grinder.
Add some more milk.
We can keep adding milk as per our requirement.
We have prepared a fine paste of almonds.
Use a non stick pan to make almond katli.
Heat the pan and add 2 tbsp ghee to it.
Let the ghee melt.
Add the almond paste to the pan.
We added 1/2 tsp milk but we found it to be thick so we added 2 tbsp water to make a thin paste.
We can take milk in place of water.
Also add the powdered sugar.
Keep stirring and cook on medium flame till it has a freezing consistency.
We can see the paste is having a thin consistency.
Keep cooking it for some more time so that it has a thick consistency.
Make sure that the spoon goes till the base of the pan, so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom.
Our mixture is quite thick.
If we want to check whether our mixture is ready or not, then we can do it in this way.

Take out the mixture from the pan, so that it gets cool quickly.
Once the mixture is cool, apply oil on your hands and knead the mixture a little.
Till the time it is not completely cool, it will not freeze.

Take a butter paper, apply ghee to it and make it smooth.
Take the mixture and make it like a round ball in this manner.
Press it and make it rectangular in shape.
Apply ghee on the rolling pin (chakla).
Now roll it out. Make sure it is rolled out thin.
Roll it out approximately 1 cm thick.
