MysorePak


Bengal gram flour – 1 cup
Sugar – 1 1/2 cup
Ghee – 2 cup
Water – ¼ cup

Method

  1. Place a heavy pan on the fire. Add sugar and water and let it boil. When it reaches 1 string consisitency lower the flame and add the Bengal gram flour stirring it continuously. Let it mix well. See that lumps are not formed. Add 2 tsp ghee and go on stir it.
  2. In another vessel heat the ghee and keep it ready.
  3. When the flour is blended well with syrup and starts to curl add the hot ghee slowly till all the ghee is absorbed. It will start to thicken and become frothy and start leaving out the ghee.
  4. Remove from fire and pour over a greased tray. Pat it evenly with the back of a greased cup.When it is warm cut it into pieces.

PS: I used 1 ½ cup ghee and that also turned out good. Only that mysore pak will be more softer when you use more ghee.
