Ingredients
- 1 cup Blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup almond milk
- A pinch of saffron
- ¼ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener more if you want a sweeter katli
Instructions
Roast the blanched flour:
- Take a cup of blanched almond flour and sift it through a flour sieve.
- Add the sifted flour to a preheated frying pan and roast it for a while.
- Once the flour becomes fragrant, turn the heat off and transfer the roasted flour into a mixing bowl.
Powder sweetener:
- I used swerve and monk fruit sugar for this recipe. For most Indian desserts I prefer swerve or Splenda because both have a minimal aftertaste. However, you can use any sugar-free sweetener of your choice for this recipe.
- Because most sugar-free sweeteners are granular, you will need to make a fine powder of it.
- Take ¼ cup of sugar alternative in a small spice jar and blend it into a powder. Use it for this recipe.
Prepare the Safforn milk.
- Take four tablespoon of almond milk in a bowl and warm it.
- Add a pinch of saffron and allow it to stand for a while
Prepare the dough:
- Now add the sweetener powder to the almond flour and mix well. You can add some cardamom powder or rose extract at this point.
- Now add some saffron milk(1 tablespoon at a time) and mix it well to prepare a dough.
- Once the dough forms, you will see little oil oozing. Knead it for a few more minutes and a smooth dough will form.
Prepare katli:
- Place the dough ball on a parchment paper and roll it flat using a rolling pin.
- Keep the thickness equal and even throughout.
- By using a big kitchen knife, cut the dough into diamond-shaped katlis.
- Garnish with chopped nuts or saffron strands.
- Allow the katlis to air dry for a while.
- Your keto katli is ready to savor.
Notes
Note:
- You don’t need any extra fat to make this katli. However, if you must use, then add a tablespoon of coconut oil or ghee for the best results.
- If using sugar, add equal amount of powdered sugar matching the almond flour amount in cups.
- Adding any flavoring agent, essence or color is a personal choice. I have used saffron milk for adding a touch of saffron in this recipe.
- Use a silicone spatula to knead the dough thoroughly so that the sugar-free sweetener incorporates well in the dough without leaving any chunky or lumpy mass.
- These katlis stay longer in the refrigerator and stay fresh outside for three to five days.
