Step by step process for Mysore Pak:
Take a pan, add 1 cup besan flour and saute on low flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
Now remove from heat and sieve the roasted flour using a sieve.
Now take another pan, add 2 cups of ghee and heat the ghee for a few seconds. After warming the ghee, take 1 cup of ghee and add it with besan flour.
Now mix ghee and besan flour well without any lumps. Let’s make the sugar syrup. Take another pan, add 1 ¼ cup sugar,
1 cup water and mix well till sugar dissolve completely in the water.
Cook sugar syrup for 8 to 10 minutes to get one string consistency. Once you reach one string consistency, add besan flour mixed with ghee and start stirring in the sugar syrup.
We still have one more cup ghee, so add 2 tbsp of ghee from the left-over ghee and keep stirring. Now add 2 tbsp ghee for every 5 minutes and mix well with the besan flour. This process takes about 18 to 20 minutes to achieve the right consistency for Mysore Pak.
Switch off the flame and pour the Mysore Pak in any mould and allow it to cool down completely before giving them a shape.
Make the desired shape once it is cool down completely.
Mysore Pak is ready to serve.
