Badam Puri | Badam Poori Recipe | Kannada Recipes

Badam Puri is traditional deep fried sweet prepared during festival days like DeepavaLi, Ganesha festivals in Karnataka,. In mysore region this badam poori is popularly called paaka poori meaning crispy pooris in sugar syrup. Crispy pooris soaked in thick sugar syrup.
The one thing I always wondered is why the name Badam is attached to this sweet poori. We don’t even use almonds in this recipe 🙂
