I made this katli,by using canned lichi juice,the taste is divine,if you have fresh lichi can use it"s juice too......the fragrance and tste of lichi blends so well with almonds...i don"t have a word to define it...:)
In a deep heavy bottom pan,mix almond paste and lichi juice,Cook this mixture on low flame, stirring constantly,till the mixture,started leaving the pan.
Cool the mixture,make a 1/2 inch thick chapatti of it,apply silver varakh on it with light hands and then cut it into diamond shape.
Can be stored on self for a week in air tight container.
actually for ma sunday brunch party i wanted to try some traditional sweet but with twist and also don"t wanted to waste so much time on it,so i tried it.i didn"t used sugar or any fat or milk for making it,as traditionally used while making this sweet....:)
