Ingredients for Mysore pak


Besan flour – 1cup
Sugar – 1½ cup
Water – ½ cup
Oil – 1½ cup
Ghee – ½ cup

Preparation of Mysore pak


Grease a tray with ghee and keep aside. Sieve the besan flour to remove any lumps and keep aside.  Heat the pan and add oil ghee mixture and heat that in medium flame to smoking hot and after that keep in sim flame.

Add sugar in another pan and add ½ glass of water and keep in medium flame.  Let sugar syrup boil and keep in sim flame and wait for the string consistency.   This consistency of sugar syrup is very important in Mysore pak recipe.  If you miss this consistency the whole sweet will collapse.

As soon as sugar syrup reaches string consistency add besan flour little by little and stir constantly till the besan flour blend with sugar syrup.  At this stage keep the oil in medium flame.  After the sugar syrup and besan flour mixture started boiling add scoop of hot oil and the mixture turn frothy.   Keep stirring continuously until the mixture absorb oil and turn smooth and again add scoop of oil and do the same.

Similarly continue adding the hot ghee-oil mixture in batches until all of it is used up.  Stir the mixture continuously until it turn frothy and porus.  When the mixture turns frothy and porous switch off the stove and immediately transfer this into the greased tray.  Gently level the surface using a greased knife or spoon.

Let it cool for about 10 minutes and then cut into desired shapes.Allow this to cool completely before removing from the tray.  Amazing Mysore pak is ready to serve.
