A delicious sweet made from besan flour with a hint of cardomon. So moorish that it is impossible to stop at just one. Store in an air tight container for a week (if they last that long - which they unfortunately they do not in my house - cant blame the family as I do the eating!)
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 cup ghee
1 cup besan flour
1 to 2 cups sugar (Depends on how sweet you want it) I use 1 cup and it is plenty sweet for me!!
1/2 cup water
Few cardomon pods- skinned and crushed.
1 greased tray
WHAT YOU DO:
1. Heat pan and add sugar and water and keep heating till the sugar syrup reaches ball consistency or string consistency. Basically you want it either be able to roll a small ball in it or scrap along back on spoon and it stays thick. BE CAREFUL SUGAR SYRUP IS HOT AND CAN BURN!!!!
2. Once it has reached this consistency remove from heat and pour ghee and besan flour in a steady stream into the dish and stir, stir, stir, stir. I mean it dont stop stirring!!!
3. Keep stiring and add the cardomon powder as you go. When the mixture becomes aromatic and starts to leave the side of the pan and form one clump the mixture is ready.
4. Immediately pour into the prepared greased tray and smooth out.
5. When the mixture is almost cool then cut to desired shape!!!!
Mysore Pak is ready!!!
