Badam Puri | Badam Poori

 This is traditional South Indian / Karnataka sweet dish. Made with maida/plain flour, mixed with almond/badam milk and ghee. Then soaked it in the sugar syrup. Badam puri made typically served  during like weddings/any celebrations feast / functions. Very simple recipe the only thing is following exact measurements and little bit of technics. Then it becomes crisp and flaky texture.

Here in this recipe I have used ready Almond milk (store bought). Also can be used raw Badam / Almonds. Soaked overnight and remove skin and grind into a smooth paste and mixed with warm milk. Another method is warm milk mixed with homemade almond powder or use store bought almond powder.
