Badam Puri (Almond pastry soaked in sugar syrup)

Sometimes nostalgic tastes from your childhood are so strong that you feel the need to re-live those tasteful memories! With the benefits of blogs and super talented master chefs that share their recipes, it's now so great to learn and try creating these yummies yourself! 

So here it is, my attempt at creating my own version of BADAM PURI, thanks to a wonderful recipe posted on Udupi Recipes. How to describe this delicious, crispy yet soft, sweet and salty, juicy sweet treat?? I just cannot...try this quick version for yourself to find out :)


Ingredients for about 12 Badam Puris: 1 cup fine semolina (chiroti rava), 1/2 cup plain flour (maida), pinch of salt, milk to mix the dough, 1/2 cup almond powder  few, tablespoons melted butter/ghee. Oil for deep frying puris. 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water for sugar syrup.


Make: In a bowl combine semolina, plain flour, almond powder, salt and mix into a soft dough with milk and butter as needed. Keep aside for about an hour. In a separate dish bring the sugar and water to boil to make your sugar syrup. Make small golf ball sized balls with the dough then using a rolling pin, roll out flat, around the size of your palm. Fold into triangles as shown in the photo, put in a clove to keep the shape during deep frying.

Once ready to fry, drop in 3 or 4 triangles at each time and fry on low flame until golden in colour. If you fry too fast the inside will not cook. Remove and drain excess oil. Then drop into the sugar syrup to soak for about 5 minutes. Place on a serving plate and dust powdered sugar for a lovely presentation. 

Enjoy!!
