Mysore Pak

Mysore Pak is a traditional South Indian Sweet. Typically, it requires only three ingredients and little patience to stand near the stove. Initially, I thought doing mysore pak is a very big deal and can be only consumed from the Krishna Sweets ( typical shop I used to get it). But, once I got this recipe from my friend, I tried out for a diwali festival at my home. It came out really well that every one liked it so much. So, I thought of sharing the recipe here

Ingredients:

Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 30 Mins

Gram Flour – 1 Cup ( 100 gms )
Sugar – 3/4 Cup (75 gms)
Ghee -1 Cup (100 ml)
Water as required

Method:

Heat a heavy bottomed pan, dry roast the gram flour for 5-7 minutes.
When the gram flour is getting roasted, will get a nice aroma of smell all around the house. Once it arrives, Switch off the flame

Sieve the gram flour into our taken ghee, mix well without any lumps and set aside
In the pan, add the taken sugar and pour the water.( I too 1/4 cup) Water gets dissolved and wait for one sting consistency( it is like a sting when you take a pinch of the sugar syrup between the tip of two fingers)
Now add the ghee-gram flour mixture in the sugar syrup and mix it well
Lower the flame.keep stirring it. Whenever the mix gets thickened, add a tbsp of ghee and stir it ( repeat it 3-4 times )
