Should I sieve almond flour?
Since I have ground the almond flour, I didn’t sieve. If you are planning to skip grinding, sieve the almond flour and add the fine almond flour. You might need a little water for binding
Do I need to grind Almond flour?
Grinding almond flour along with other ingredients helps with easy binding.
Can I use regular sugar?
No, always use powdered sugar for no-cook Almond katli. I have used store-bought powdered sugar. If you don’t have it, powder the sugar first, then add other ingredients and grind everything together
Can I reduce powdered sugar?
Yes, adjust according to your taste.
Can I skip the rose syrup and prepare Almond peda?
Rose syrup makes Almond katli flavorful. If you are not a big fan of rose flavor, skip it and add cardamom powder or any other flavor of your choice. In that case, you might need a little water for binding (around 1 tbsp). Add little by little as required
Do I need to add water for binding?
Rose syrup, mixie grinding, plus a little ghee helps for pliable dough. I didn’t add water, but based on the almond flour you use, if needed, sprinkle very little water.

I don’t have a piping mold; how to make a rose impression for rose katli?
Flower impression is optional; you can skip it. You can also use a peda mold like milk peda instead, or a cookie press might also work for the impression.

Hi, I tried to make the ground powder into dough in my hands but it was too crumbly. Therefore I added one spoon of water and then was able to roll it into a ball.
However, maybe as a result of this water, after I cut it, it remained a little sticky and not hard enough to be a katli consistency. Any advice? Should I not have added water to roll it, maybe should have added ghee or something else?
Initially it will be crumbly but if kneaded well it comes together
