It’s been a long time since I posted a recipe here. It is because I am in INDIA keeping myself occupied. My friend Shriya and I came to India for a long vacation. So I am writing this recipe from India and thought I will start with a sweet. I celebrated Diwali with my family here and had a lots of sweets and savory. Mysore Pak is one of the popular sweet in India. My mother in law makes awesome Mysore Pak every year for Diwali. This time I had a chance to watch her making this sweet. It was simple and yummy. Here you go…

Ingredients:

• Gram flour or Besan  - 1 cup
• Sugar - 1 and 3/4 cup
• Ghee or Clarified butter - 1 and 3/4 cup
• Water - 1 cup

Method of Preparation:

1. Take a square or rectangular plate and grease it with ghee.
2. Heat 1 cup of water in a thick bottomed pan or kadai and add sugar to it.
3. Let it boil till it becomes sticky/viscous.
4. Now add the gram flour to it and mix well.
5. Keep stirring till the gram flour gets completely mixed with the sugar syrup.
6. Now heat ghee in a separate pan.
7. Add the hot ghee to the gram flour mixture. You can see the formation of froth while adding ghee.
8. Add all the ghee slowly and keep stirring till the ghee separates from the mixture.

10. Now add the mixture to the greased plate and cut into square pieces.

    Hi, I just stumbled on your blog recently. Thanks for posting these awesome recipes! The Mysore Pak recipe was the first I tried out. My husband loves Indian food and he thought they were de-lish!! He couldn’t believe they were made from chickpea flour and took them to work to share… Everyone loved the “chickpea fudge”. I’m planning to make the Spicy Fish Kuzhambu for dinner tonight. Going to make it this morning so it can soak in the flavors all day! Will let you know how it turns out!

    Thank you for the recipe. It was a success, even though I ended up with a cross between mysore pak and sohan halwa the guests loved it.
    I put in a cup of ghee and then when I added the rest of the ghee there was simply too much and I had to scoop it out with a spoon. What did I do wrong?
