Receta Ghee Mysore Pak
Ghee Mysore Pak
Ingredients
- 1 cup gram flour/besan
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/2 cup ghee
Method In a pan roast the gram flour on a medium low heat until turns aromatic. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Sift the roasted gram flour into a bowl.(Sifting the gram flour ensures a smooth textured mysore pak)
Heat the ghee until it is totally melted. Add one cup of the melted ghee to the sifted gram flour and using a whisk mix well until smooth without any lumps.
In a wide pan add the sugar and measured water. Bring this to a boil stirring continously until the sugar is dissolved completely. Continue cooking until the sugar syrup reaches a one string consistency(when you take a drop between your fingers you should be able to get a single string of the syrup between your fingers).
Once the sugar syrup reaches this consistency add the gram flour and ghee mixture to the sugar syrup stirring continously.
Cook this mixture on a medium low heat stirring continously until the ghee is absorbed by the gram flour.
As the ghee gets abosrbed by the gram flour, add the remaining half cup ghee little by little (approximately 2 Tbsp at a time) to the mixture.
When the ghee is absorbed and the whole mixture starts leaving from the sides of the pan, pour it into a greased pan or mould. Level the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Keep this aside and let it cool. Once cooled cut into rectangles or squares and serve.
