Mysore pak is one of the south Indian mouth watering sweet. It is my favourite sweet made with besan ghee and sugar syrup.
Ingredients::
- Besan flour - 1 cup
- Sugar - 2 cups
- Ghee - 1 and 3/4 cups + 1 tbsp
- Oil - 1/4 cup
- Water - 1/2 cup(for sugar syrup)
Method:
In a pan add water and sugar and boil it till one string consistency is reached.
At this stage sprinkle the besan flour little by little, keep stirring to avoid lumps.
Mix oil with ghee and keep aside.
Pour ghee + oil mixture little by little to the besan mixture and keep stirring. Ghee gets absorbed quickly so and it forms a thick mass.
Then it forms a slightly porous texture leaving out ghee at the sides(even if it does not leave out ghee switch it off once it reaches the texture).
Transfer the mixture to the greased plate . When it is still warm mark pieces, cool down and store in an airtight container.
