Soak the almonds in water for 1 hour to 1.5 hours.

Boil 2 cups of water in a boiler.

Add the almonds to the boiling water, turn off the flame, and cover for 5 minutes.

Put the peeled almonds back in hot water and cover for 1 to 1.5 hours to make them fluffy.

Grate the almonds after soaking.

Once thick, remove the mixture from the pan to cool quickly.

Knead the cooled mixture and shape it into a round ball, then flatten it into a rectangle.

Roll out the mixture to approximately 1 cm thick using a rolling pin.

Cut the rolled almond katli into pieces using a pizza cutter or knife.
