Notes
The use of saffron is optional. It imparts a lovely color and flavor to the katlis. If you don't want to use saffron but still want the yellow color, use a drop of edible yellow food color. Traditionally the almond burfi is made without saffron and is a pale cream/off white color. To get that color, just use plain water. Almond katli does not require any flavoring like cardamom or rose water. After 2 minutes in the microwave, cook at 30 second intervals, mixing after each 30 second rotation. Check to see if you can make a ball of the dough, that's the point when its ready to be rolled. Add a spoonful of water if you do overcook. Once the dough is ready to be flattened,you can add a tsp of ghee to the dough. I did not add any.
