Ashrafiyaon Ka Meetha is a Royal dish from Hyderabadi Mugal cuisine. I saw this dish on a TV cookery show. On seeing how easy to make this, I thought to give it a try. The name ‘Almond coins‘ is kept by me for easy understanding?
Almond Coins
This is a royal dish from India. This Ashrfiyon ka Meetha or almond coins requires just 2 ingredients. Yes, Almonds and sugar. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to make this dish. The only time-consuming part is to peel the almonds.
How to make Almond coins

Then heat a heavy-bottomed and cook almond and sugar paste. Then add the remaining sugar and mix continuously on medium flame without burning. Switch off.

Sounds yumm! won’t it be almost similar to badam katli, considering the ingredients are almost the same? What makes this chewy ?
Thank you..?..ya that’s the interesting part… though ingredients are same making differs… I believe in badam katli you add smooth ground almonds to sugar syrup… here we grind both together… here chunks are fine whereas in katli chunks are not allowed?
I hope my explanation cleared your doubt. If anything else let me know?… Thank you dear?
Yes I see your point, also the water is much lesser in katli..Shall try this out 🙂
