Mysore Pak

Directions

• In a thick bottomed pan, add a teaspoon of ghee and add the chickpea flour. Toast on low flame until the roasted aroma of the flour waft through the kitchen. Caution to not to change the colour.
• In a bowl, add the roasted flour and 1/2 cup of ghee and mix well. Keep aside.
• In the same pan, add the sugar and about half a cup of water and let it boil on medium flame until the sugar syrup reaches one string consistency.
• Switch off the stove. Yes.. switch it off while you sieve through the flour and ghee mixture straight to the pan. Do it quickly, under a minute should be great.
• The stove should be on again, on a low mix well the flour,ghee and sugar mixture. Keep doing it,for about 1 minute. You must see small bubbles in the mixture which is when you must add a tsp of ghee.
• Keep mixing and when you see a bigger bubble switch of the stove. Add the remaining ghee and give a thorough mix.
• Pour the mixture on to a greased tray and spread it evenly. OR like me,you can use a silicon mould for a better shape and even size.
• Let it set for 5mins, then usig a clean knife cut the pieces(only when setting it on a tray.)
• The Mysore pak should be ready once cooled. Enjoy..
