Serves – 4 persons

Ingredients for Mysore Pak Recipe

  • Besan/ gram flour – 1 cup
  • Sugar – 1½ cups
  • Water – ½ cup
  • Ghee – 6-7 tbsp

Procedure for preparing Mysore Pak Recipe

Sift the gram flour to so as to avoid any lumps.

Now In a kadhai/pan add around 2 tbsp ghee and then add the gram flour and roast it on low flame till the raw smell of the gram flour is gone.

Meanwhile, In a different pan add water and sugar and melt it on medium flame to get a sugar syrup. You have to make sure that the sugar syrup is of the right consistency. the right consistency is one thread, i.e press the sugar syrup between your finger tips and see if it forms one thread when you release the finger tips after pressing them,  or alternatively you can keep some water in a cup and drop a drop of the sugar syrup into it and see if the drop goes directly to the bottom and sits there without getting dissolved instantly.

Once you get the right sugar syrup consistency add the roasted besan to this add mix well. Also add the remaining ghee to it and keep stirring till the ghee starts leaving the sides and the mix takes the form of halwa. Once the right consistency of this mix is attained pour in a greased plate and level it and then  cut them in desired shape.
