Ingredients list for Pista Katli

  • 4 1/6 cups Pistachio powder
  • 1 1/3 cups Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Liquid glucose
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Ghee
  • Silver warq

Method

  1. Cook the sugar with one and one third cups of water in a deep non-stick pan, stirring till the sugar dissolves. Add the milk, and when the scum rises to the top collect it with a ladle, and discard.
    Continue cooking over medium heat for twelve minutes, or till it attains a multi-string consistency.
  2. Stir in the liquid glucose and ghee.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and add the pistachio powder, stirring vigorously. Knead lightly to make a soft dough.
  4. Grease a ten-by-eight-inch aluminium tray and spread the dough in it. Smooth the surface with a sheet of butter paper. Gently spread the silver foil over the top and cut into 20 diamonds. Store in an airtight container when cool.
