Ingredients
· All-purpose flour (maida) – 1 cup
· Almonds (badam) – ½ cup, blanched and ground into a paste
· Powdered sugar – ¼ cup (adjust to taste)
· Cardamom powder (elaichi) – ½ tsp
· Ghee or oil – 2 tsp for dough + for deep frying
· Milk or water – as needed to knead the dough
For Garnishing (Optional)
· Chopped almonds
· Rose petals or saffron strands
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
1. Mix maida, almond paste, sugar, cardamom powder, and ghee in a bowl.
2. Add milk or water little by little to form a smooth, soft dough.
3. Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
2. Shape the Puris
1. Divide the dough into small balls.
2. Roll each ball gently into a small, thick disc (like a mini puri).
3. Fry the Badam Puris
1. Heat ghee or oil in a deep pan on medium heat.
2. Fry the puris until golden brown, turning carefully to cook evenly.
3. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve
· Let them cool slightly and garnish with chopped almonds or saffron if desired.
· Serve warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with tea or as a sweet snack.
💡 Tips for Perfect Badam Puri
· Don’t roll the puris too thin; they should remain soft inside.
· Almond paste adds richness, but you can also mix cashew paste for variation.
· Fry on medium heat, as high heat can burn the puris quickly.
