Hazelnut Katli
This Katli is made from ground Hazelnut meal or powder and prepared exactly the same way we make the one with Kaju and I have added some cocoa powder to give it chocolatey taste. It’s so prefect and yes it will remind you of Ferrero Rocher to some extent.
Servings: 15 pieces
Ingredients
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup hazelnut flour
- 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tbsp ghee
- Edible Gold leaf optional
Instructions
- Take water in pan and sugar in a pan on medium heat. Let the water boil and bubble up for few minutes.
- Then once you see bubbles, add the hazelnut flour and cocoa powder. Stir and keep mixing until the mixture keeps cooking and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
- It takes only few minutes for this step. Make sure its not sticky and water has evaporated.
- It should be soft. Add ghee. Remove it in greased parchment or silicone mat.
- Make a disc and then place another parchment on top and roll out a circle about 6-inch diameter.
- Once it cools down a little bit, cut into diamond shape.
- If you like place gold edible leaf on top of each piece.
- Store it in an air-tight container.
Notes
- The nut powder should be fine in texture whether you make it at home or buy it at the store. Nuts should be unsalted.
- Cocoa powder is optional, but it does taste good.
- Sugar consistency does not matter, as long as sugar is melted in the water, and it is bubbling when you add the nut mix. It’s important to not overboil the sugar syrup, or else it will make tough katli.
- It can easily be stored at room temperature.
- If you like you can add a thin layer of melted chocolate on top of the katli and then place the edible gold leaf on it once it cools down.
