Mysore Pak

Mysore Pak

One of the all time favorite Sweets is Mysore Pak.  It is tasty whether you make it as crispy,  like the one you get in Marriage Seervarisai or very soft one , like you get it in SriKrishna Sweets Shop. 

Here I am giving you the Soft Version of Mysore Pak.   I got this recipe from a web Site.   Though the recipe is done in OPOS method , I am sharing this recipe for those who doesn’t know how to release pressure from the Cooker manually. 

For Full OPOS Method kindly refer http://www.foodnmoi.com/mysore-pak

Let us see how it is done in traditional method. 

Ingredients

Gram flour  / Besan  : 100 gms

Sugar  :  200 gms

Ghee :  125 ml

Cooking oil  :  3 tsp

Cooking soda  :  1/4 tsp

Water  :  1/4 Cup

In a Big and thick Pan mix melted Ghee and Gram flour without any lumps .  Cook in low flame till the flour changes its colour and a nice aroma comes.   Keep stirring now and then.   Switch it off. 

Keep the Ghee coated deep plate ready.  

Meanwhile , in another vessel add water , cooking oil  and sugar and cook till string consistency.  Take some syrup carefully using ladle  and take a drop of syrup in your thumb and press it with your index finger and remove ….  If you find a thread like consistency between your fingers, then switch it off.   Add Cooking Soda and mix nicely.

Immediately mix both the sugar syrup and roasted flour without any lumps. 

Pour into the greased plate.

Let it settle .

After 20 minutes , make a cut marks as squares or diamonds or rectangle slabs using sharp knife, when the mixture is still warm.

Let it cool completely. 

After a couple of hours , remove the slices carefully using sharp knife and enjoy the melting wonder, Mysore Pak .

Note : 

Use Big and thick bottom Pan .  You need enough space to occupy sugar syrup as well as roasted gram flour and while mixing, the whole mixture may overflow a bit , so its better to use big pan.

Always use fresh ingredients for better result.

Freshly Home made Ghee gives excellent flavor.
