This delicious Indian sweet is from South India has a granular texture. Soft Mysore Pak recipe is a recipe made with 4 basic ingredients in which besan is cooked in sugar syrup and then with a generous amount of ghee and small quantity of oil. To make this traditional favourite sweet Mysore Pak, keep a keen eye on the mixture while cooking like the sugar syrup has to be one thread consistency, else the Mysore pak might turn hard. Do not be alarmed by the amount of ghee used in the recipe of Easy Homemade Mysore Pak recipe as that amount is necessary to get the froth which renders that speckled texture to the mithai.

1 cup sieved besan (Bengal gram flour)
1 cup ghee
½ cup oil
1¾ cups sugar
1 tsp ghee for greasing

1. For mysore pak, heat the ghee and oil in a non-stick sauce pan for 2 minutes or till the ghee melts completely.
2. Meanwhile to make sugar syrup for mysore pak, combine the sugar and ½ cup of water in a deep non-stick pan and mix well. Cook on a medium flame for 5 minutes until it reaches 1 string consistency.
3. Reduce the flame to low and add approx. ¼ cup of besan to this sugar syrup and immediately start stirring with a whisk. Continue mixing well using the whisk until the besan mixes well with the sugar syrup and no lumps remain.

7.Repeat this procedure 5 to 6 more times till all the oil-ghee mixture has been mixed well with the besan-sugar syrup mixture.
8. Once the entire oil-ghee mixture has been mixed well, the mixture would immediately turn frothy. This would take around 5 minutes 30 seconds. The consistency is a pale yellow color mixture which is slightly frothy and does not absorb any more oil.
9. Immediately transfer the mixture into a greased 9” x 5” tin.
10. Gently even out the mixture of mysore pak in the tin using the same flat ladle and keep aside to rest for approx. 5 minutes so that it cools down slightly.
