Almond Flour Sukhdi

By Jigna
This Almon Flour Sukhdi is a delicious take on the original Gujarati Sukhdi. While the original Sukhdi is made with whole wheat flour, I used blanched almond flour to make this healthy treat!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (220g) ghee
  • 2 cups (210g) almond flour
  • 1 cup (130g) jaggery powder or finely chopped jaggery
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 tablespoon chopped almonds and pistachios

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a baking tray or plate with ghee. Line it with parchment paper if you like. Set aside.
  • Heat ghee in a pan on medium heat. Once ghee melts, add almond flour and mix well.
  • Roast the almond flour on low-medium heat until it turns golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. Stir the flour continuously to prevent burning.
  • Turn the heat on low and add jaggery and ground cardamom. Mix everything well until jaggery is well incorporated and fully melted.
  • Turn off the heat and immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Spread the mixture evenly in the tray and smooth the top. Sprinkle chopped nuts and press them in gently.
  • Allow it to cool completely, then cut into desired shape and size. Enjoy the Almond Flour Sukhdi immediately, or store it in an airtight container.

Storing Suggestions

  • Almond Flour Sukhdi can be stored at room temperature for a week and in the refrigerator for longer.
  • You can also freeze it for two months. Bring it to room temperature before serving.

Notes

  1. Ghee: Do not add less ghee than mentioned in the recipe. Using less ghee will not set the Almond Flour Sukhdi, and it will break upon slicing.
  2. Almond Flour: Measure the flour correctly and use a kitchen scale if you have one. If you use the cup method, fluff the almond flour with a spoon and then spoon it into a cup. You can also use almond meal (ground almonds with skin) instead of almond flour.
  3. Roasting: Roast the almond flour on low-medium heat and stir continuously to prevent burning.
  4. Jaggery: I used jaggery powder, but you can also use finely chopped jaggery. Chopping the jaggery is essential for easy mixing with almond flour.
