Almond Flour

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Unsalted Almonds
  • 2 Cups Boiling Water

Preparation

Prep: 10 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes

  1. In a bowl, add unsalted almonds and boiling water. Let this mixture rest for only 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, unpeel all the almonds.
  2. You will notice the peel will come off easily after putting them in boiling water. Discard the peel and spread the almonds on a plate. Let them dry overnight.
  3. You can cover the plate with a dry cloth. Next morning or after 7-8 hours, put these almonds into a mixer and blitz them till they turn into a fine powder. You can adjust the texture as per your taste.
  4. If you want the powder to be really fine, you blitz them more till you get the right texture of your choice. Transfer this to a glass container and store it at room temperature.
  5. The almond flour can last up to 1 year and can be used to make Indian desserts like almond barfi, almond katli, halwa or cakes or keto desserts, etc. That’s about it!

Originally from Mumbai, I moved to Madrid in January 2019 for my graduate studies. It has been one year and five months since I am in Madrid and stuck in lockdown for two months due to COVID-19. Rather than feeling awful about this situation, I took it positively by utilizing this time to do what I have been yearning to do since the past few years - cooking! Having grown up watching Nigella Lawson and Master Chef, I have had some serious interest in cooking. To the extent that I was almost on the verge of enrolling myself in a culinary school in Paris when I was 18. For several reasons I haven’t experimented as much in the kitchen as I would have liked, until now. I decided to put on my chef’s hat on day 1 of #MadridLockdown and go all out with my amateur cooking experiments. So here I am, still in lockdown, penning down my recipes for all those who want to be the master chef of their own house.
