MYSORE PAK

Regular mysore pak, consumes lots of ghee and  time. I tried preparing Mysore pak using limited amount of ghee and less time.

INGREDIENTS:-

Besan Flour / Kadalai maavu - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp



METHOD:-

Grease a tray using ghee and set aside.

Dry roast besan flour for  7 to 8 minutes in low to medium flame, till nice aroma arises. Make sure that you don't burn the flour.

Dry Roast

Add ghee and cook for 5 minutes. Switch off the flame and set aside.

Ghee added

Side by side, Switch on the Electric Rice Cooker, add sugar, water, cardamom powder.

Sugar added in Electric Rice Cooker

One String Consistency is required to prepare the  mysore pak. Once it reaches One-string consistency, keep it in warm mode and immediately add the besan flour mix. 

Besan flour mix in sugar syrup

Stir continuously for 1  minute and transfer immediately to the greased tray.  

After 5 minutes, Cut into desired shapes. Allow it to cool and tap it on a plate.

Tasty mysore pak is ready.

Note:-
Instead of 1/2 cup ghee, 1/4 cup oil plus 1/4 cup ghee can be added. Adding oil, gives texture to the mysore pak.
Giving a gentle mix of the besan flour mix to the sugar syrup, and immediately pouring gives a Soft-Mysore Pak, while 2 to 3 minutes stirring gives a little Hard Mysore Pak.
