Ghee Mysore Pak

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.
