Ghee Mysore Pak – Authentic South Indian Sweet Recipe
Ingredients:
- Besan (gram flour), sifted
- Sugar
- water
- Ghee, hot and melted
- Neutral cooking oil (optional, helps reduce cost and improve softness)
Spices & Flavors:
- cardamom powder (optional, for aroma)
- desi ghee is the key flavoring agent—no artificial essence needed
Instructions:
- Grease a square or rectangular tray with ghee and set aside.
- Dry roast besan on low flame until aromatic (around 4–5 minutes). Sieve again to ensure smooth texture.
- Boil sugar and water in a thick-bottomed pan until it reaches one-string consistency.
- Slowly add roasted besan into the syrup while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Pour in the hot ghee in batches while continuously stirring. The mixture will begin to foam and leave the sides.
- Pour the hot mixture into the greased tray. Level the top quickly before it cools.
- Let it cool for 5–10 minutes, then slice into squares or diamonds.
