GHEE MYSORE PAK

Mysore Pak is the traditional south indian dessert or sweet that is rich in ghee. This is originated from Mysore . This is the sweet that is compulsory in south indian marriages. It is the sweet made of ghee , besan in the sugar syrup. They make this mysorepak in two types as a]soft mysorepak and the hard mysorepak.

I love the soft version of mysorepak then the other . These soft Mysore pak melts in mouth no time. It is famous in sweet stalls like krishna sweets in south India.So thought of doing this for Diwali and sharing it here. Lets look at the recipe.

3. Reduce the flame to low and add the besan flour to the sugar syrup. Mix well and remove all the lumps. Initially lumps will be there, but if you keep on mixing it will dissolves completely. Once lumps dissolved back the flame to medium and then add the ghee little by little and keep on mixing well.
