Easy 3 Ingredients Badam Katli Made with Almond Flour in Microwave

5 days of Diwali celebrations started yesterday. For a long time, I have been making all the Diwali Snacks and Sweets at home including Poha Chiwda, Corn Chiwda, Air Fried Salted Nuts, Baked Kachori, Barfi and much more.

And I am so pressed for time this year that making some festival goodies is beyond me. It is already the 2nd day of the festival and I have managed to make just 1 Mithai (Indian sweet).

Nonetheless, the excitement of Diwali is building up. And who knows I might end up making more goodies in just a blink of time.

Yup, that’s me – always making quick and easy recipes with shortcuts and hacks. Life is too busy to go all traditional all the time. Right? Thanks to the Modern Kitchen Gadgets for making our Lives easier.

Microwave and Instant Pot are amazing inventions of the century for Busy Moms. Life has become much simpler with the use of these.

My Badam Katli is one such recipe for Busy Moms & Dads. It is made in Microwave and that too with JUST 3 INGREDIENTS.

Also it is one of the recipes that uses Almond Flour as main ingredient.

What is Katli?

Katli is a kind of fudge made with nuts powder and sugar syrup. It is much thinner as compared to the original fudge and is drier too.

The most common Katli are Kaju Katli made with Cashews. And then there is Badam Katli made with Almonds.

Traditionally, we grind the nuts into a fine powder and then add to the boiling sugar syrup. Once the mixture thickens,  collect the mixture together like a dough. And then you roll it out thin and immediately cut into pieces.

Any kind of Katli is usually shaped into Diamond.

We can flavor this Almond Katli with – Saffron, or Cardamom powder, and sometimes with Rose essence also.

Badam Katli is then decorated with Chandi ka Vark.

What is Chandi ka Vark?

I get asked this question often as what is that aluminum tin/foil thing on top of your dish. Why do you use it? Do you have to use it?

Chandi ka Vark is an Edible Silver Leaf which is very thin and fine. Vark or this edible silver leaf is symbolic to festivities and celebrations. It does not have any taste. The Vark is also called as Zarda in Urdu.

Vark is applied on top of the dessert while it is still hot/warm or it won’t stick. Now, you do not have to use it. The recipe will still taste amazing without the use of Vark.

Step by Step Instructions with Pictures

1. Gather all the ingredients – Saffron dissolved in warm water, almond flour, and sugar.

1. Take a microwave safe bowl and all the ingredients to it. Mix well with a fork.

1. Place it in the Microwave. And microwave for 30 seconds for 4 to 4&1/2 minutes. Take it out every 30 seconds and mix with a fork. Microwave again.

1. After 4 to 4&1/2 minutes, the mix will thicken. It depends upon the power of your microwave. Therefore we are taking it out and mixing after every 30 seconds.

At about 4 minutes, see if you can make a small ball out of the katli mix. If you can, then it is ready. And if the batter is still not ready, microwave for 30 seconds more.

Spreading & Shaping Badam Katli

1. Spread out the parchment paper on the working counter. I did not grease it. You can grease it with little ghee. For Vegan option, use coconut oil for greasing.

Now, take out the ready batter and place it on the spread parchment paper.

1. Collect the Almond Barfi Mix and make a dough.

1. Cover with another piece of parchment paper. Roll it out thin about 1/8th of an inch or 1/4th of an inch with a rolling pin.

1. If you are using Chandi ka Vark or Edible Silver Leaf, then apply it now, till the katli is slightly warm. Or else, it won’t stick. This is a fast process. Once cooled slightly, cut it out into 1&1/2 inch diamond shape. Katli is ready.

It is good to be stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
