Badam burfi is one popular katli variety found in most sweet shops in India. Here is simple homemade version of this item. Coming to making perfect soft and sharp katli is quite an art and needs lot of practice. Fine grounding the nuts is one key factor which is hard to do with regular mixies… so mine will look slightly coarse texture wise. Adding milk while grinding is also another trick to grind them to a paste consistency but shelf life is limited and also mostly yields halwa like chewy bufis which I personally don't like and always powder mine after drying. . . . → Read More: Badam Burfi

South Indian stuffed sweet turnovers, similar to Surat Ghari. Though is called Chandrakala (Crescent Moon shape) in Southern parts, its nothing but the Ghari which we get in Western parts of India. Very famous in Surat, Gujarat and hence, its also known as Surati Ghari. Each region has it own unique stuffing and decorations, but most common form is sweetened khoa with nuts and raisins. Here is my version of typical South Indian style Chandrakala.
