Mysore Pak recipe

Dry roast gram flour for about 2-3 minutes until you get a nice aroma.

Transfer it to a bowl and let it cool.

Once cooled, add half of the oil and ghee little by little and stir well to make a nice paste.

At the same time, bring sugar and water to a boil. Keep stirring until you get one string consistency.

When you get that consistency, transfer the flour paste into the boiling sugar syrup and stir well.

Add the remaining oil and ghee little by little and keep stirring without break.

You will see that the ghee and oil are absorbed and the flour doesn’t stick to the pan anymore.

At this point, switch OFF the stove, and stir for another minute.

Grease a pan of your choice with ghee, and quickly transfer the Mysore pak mixture while it is still hot.

Make mild movements to the pan and tap gently with the spatula to let it settle.

Now, let it cool down a bit.

While it is still warm, un-mould the Mysore Pak to a plate and cut it to a shape of your choice.

Delicious, homemade Mysore Pak is absolutely ready!
