Mysore Pak Recipe

Ingredients:


Besan - 1 cup

Ghee - 1 cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Water - 1/4 cup




Method:


  • Add a teaspoon of ghee on a heavy bottomed pan and roast besan flour till nice aroma comes out ( approximately 4 min ).

  • Sieve it once to ensure there were no lumps on the flour.

  • Now mix this sieved besan flour with 3/4 th cup of ghee and mix well. Set it aside for 10 to 15 min.

  • Meanwhile grease a plate with little ghee and set aside.

  • In order to make sugar syrup, take a pan, add sugar and water and mix well. In medium flame bring it to boil and check for one string consistency.

  • Now add besan ghee mixture to the sugar syrup and keep stirring continously.

  • Keep the flame low and add the remaining ghee in intervals to avoid drying and sticking.

  • At the stage when it doesn't stick to the pan and comes like a ball when you stir, switch off the stove and pour it to the greased plate.

  • It will spread automatically by itself. Cut in to squares/diamonds as per your wish.

  • If you pour the mixture in a big plate, the slices will be thin and if you take small plate then the slices will be thick like we buy from sweet shops. So, take it accordingly.


Notes:


Be sure and be careful when you check for one string consistency and the final mysore pak consistency.
