GHEE MYSORE PAK

Mysore pak is an Indian sweet, originated in the city of Mysore, one of the major cities in the Indian state of Karnataka. The texture of this sweet is similar to a buttery, sweet and dense cookie which melts in your mouth.

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 cup besan
2. 1 cup ghee
3. 1cup sugar
4. ¼ cup water

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Firstly, dry roast 1 cup besan on low flame for around 8-10 minutes on low flame,until it turns aromatic.

  
• Sieve the roasted besan to remove from any lumps present.
• Take a bowl and add ½ cup ghee to the roasted besan and mix well, make sure there are no lumps in this batter.

  
• In a large kadhai take 1 cup sugar and add ¼ cup water dissolve sugar keeping the flame on medium flame. Boil the sugar syrup until it reaches 1 string consistency.
• Keeping the flame on low add prepared besan ghee mixture stir well until the besan-ghee mixture is combined well in sugar syrup.
• Now add 2 tbsp of ghee and mix until the ghee is completely absorbed. Further, add 2 tbsp of more ghee in batches and keep mixing. Repeat adding ghee and mix until the mixture starts to separate from the pan. Should take around 10 mins.

  
• Transfer the cooked besan mixture to plate greased with ghee/ lined with a butter paper, level up and allow to rest till it cools down and sets completely. (You can garnish it with sliced nuts to add a texture if you want, I personally like it plain)
• Cut into desired size and shape and serve.

This mysore pak is extremely soft and melts in your mouth. You can easily store it in an airtight container for 4-5 days at room temperature and even longer if refrigerated!
