Ingredients required

Sugar – 2 cups

Ghee – 2 cups

Baking soda – ½ pinch

Water – ½ cup

Gram flour (besan) – 1 cup

How to make Mysore Pak

Add ghee to a pan and heat it over medium flame. Once the ghee is sufficiently hot, add gram flour in it and roast it for a few minutes.

In another pan, boil the sugar with water till it reaches one-string consistency.

Add the ghee-roasted gram flour in it and stir well till it thickens. Heat the remaining ghee and gently add the gram flour mixture.

Keep stirring continuously so that no lumps are formed. When the ghee starts to rise up from the sides and begins to separate, add the cooking soda.

Stir and pour into a greased plate. Gently spread the mixture and allow it to cool.

Before it hardens fully, slices it into desired shapes. Store in an airtight container and serve as you like.
