Badam Puri | Indian Sweet recipes

Ingredients :

• Maida(All purpose flour) – 2 cups
• Dalda or Vanaspati – ½ cup
• Oil/ghee for deep frying
• Grated Dry coconut for garnishing(optional)
• Orange colour – a pinch(optional)
• Sugar – 2 cups
• Water – ¼ cup

Method :

1. In a wide bowl, put maida, dalda and mix well slowly by hand. Once it is mixed well,
sprinkle little water and knead like chapathi dough. Once it is thick in consistency like
ball take 2 tablespoons oil and coat it. Leave it for 1-2 hours by closing a lid.

Now make Sugar Syrup:

1. In a bowl add sugar and water. Heat in low flame until sugar dissolves. Stir
occasionally. Allow it to thicken slightly. Consistency should be such that when
touched with 2 fingers and separated, thin string like should be formed. (avoid
touching while it is hot you may wish to use a spoon to take little portion, cool it and
then test the consistency). Sugar syrup should be sufficient to soak each lot of puris.

 For Badam Puri:

1. Beat the dough nicely and make it soft. Make small balls. Flatten it into small round
shape (Like doing for Puris). Fold it twice once to half and again to quarter. So you get
a triangle shape.
 

2. Heat oil in low medium flame in a Kadai and deep fry these till golden brown.
 

3. Soak the first lot in the sugar syrup until next lot is ready for soaking. Allow it to cool.
Repeat same process for all the remaining puris.
 

4. Garnish it with grated copparai(Dry coconut).
