Deconstructed cocoa Mysore Pak, Mango Besan ladoo with Cashew Vanilla Crumb
Steps
- 1
For the mango besan ladoo:
- 2
Powder the sugar with cardamom
- 3
Heat ghee and fry nuts and keep aside
- 4
In a separate pan add ghee and add flour and stir well, on medium to low flame keep stirring until besan turns aromat and dark in colour
- 5
At this stage, when besan is roasted well, remove the pan from the stove and let it cool.
- 6
So roast until you begin to smell good and the colour changes to dark golden.
- 7
If it’s dry add some ghee proportionately
- 8
When the flour looks greasy enough, take small portions and roll to balls and keep aside.
- 9
Under roasting the flour will leave a raw smell of flour to the ladoo
- 10
Add powdered sugar, nuts, vanilla essence, and mango essence and stir until it is combined well.
- 11
Stir and check if the flour can bind well to make the ladoos
- 12
Store besan ladoos in a tight air tight jars.
- 13
Using of ghee at one go; is not recommended, as it may make the mixture too greasy and the flour may not bind well to shape the ladoo
- 14
Measure sugar 1 & 1/4 cup and blend to fine powder and set aside
- 15
And make sure besan is at room temperature before using, in case you refrigerate, then allow it to come down to room temperature,First before adding it to the ghee
- 16
For the cocoa mysore pak:
- 17
At first take all the ingredients, sugar, besan and ghee.
- 18
Now sieve the besan(gram flour) once or twice.
- 19
Sieving of besan helps in creating any lumps while mixing the mixture in the sugar syrup.
- 20
Grease a pan or any tray with some ghee and flour.
- 21
Can use tray which can give you a nice rectangular or any desired shapes
- 22
Now take sugar syrup in heavy bottomed pan and add cocoa powder (as lot of stirring and mixing are included)
- 23
Add ½ cup of water to the sugar
- 24
Turn on the heat to medium low.
- 25
Stir at a jerk, so that the sugar dissolves.
- 26
Meanwhile in a separate heavy bottomed pan add on the ghee on a medium low heat.
- 27
Get the ghee as heat as possible.
- 28
Coming to a former place, keep the sugar syrup to boiling zone, and at that moment add in the sieved besan(gram flour) and stir continuously
- 29
As we look for different consistency
- 30
Add the besan in three to four parts
- 31
With a wired whisk, stir the besan briskly, so that it dissolves with sugar solution.
- 32
Add besan with one and mix the mixture on to the other hand.
- 33
Complete this process till besan, is off.
- 34
Once it is mixed well, add in ghee in parts.
- 35
Add ghee ladle full at first
- 36
When the ghee is pour in heat bubbles and frothing appears.
- 37
Add the second part of ghee and mix well as the process continues.
- 38
These ways finish off adding all the ghee.
- 39
This process needs lots of care as personally telling as it includes lots bubbles, frothing heat, sizzling happens over there.
- 40
Once you finish off with the ghee and besan mixture, you will see the molten mixture remained.
- 41
After this turn on medium low heat and stir this mixture continuously until besan mixture is cooked perfectly
- 42
Cook this mixture, until all the ghee is separated from the mixture.
- 43
Do scrape the pan once or twice, because it can lead to burn or dark formation.
- 44
When you see many small bubbles, after continuous stir, remove the mixture from the heat.
- 45
Do not overcook the mixture as it may get too hard in result.
- 46
Immediately tilt the pan and pour the mixture on the desired tray.
- 47
Level the mixture with a spatula
- 48
Bring the mixture to room temperature.
- 49
Once cooled down, invert it in a tray and make desired shape i chose to for rectangular one.)
- 50
Now the sweet can be served chilled.
- 51
For my vanilla cashew crumble:
- 52
I love the cashew sweet more enough, so thought of giving those a sensitive twist.
- 53
I chose vanilla essence and sugar for making this crumble.
- 54
Now in heavy bottomed pan add in sugar on medium low heat.
- 55
Add in water and stir well
- 56
Stir the mixture continuously
- 57
In a blender add cashews and blend to fine powder.
- 58
Take bowl add in cashew powder and add vanilla essence and mix well
- 59
Now once the sugar syrup is in boiling zone add in powder and stir continuously.
- 60
I want this mixture to form a glassy textured one.
- 61
Once it cools down, it forms a sugar crystal/ glass.
- 62
Once it is caramelised, remove from the stove and lay it on to silicon sheet or on a butter paper as desired.
- 63
Now in a separate blender blend these crystals to crumble powder, not too smooth enough.
- 64
You can also use liquid nitrogen, to this as it gives snowy textures to deconstructed dessert.
- 65
For plating:
- 66
Take a white plate, and place the cashew vanilla crumble on the edge of a plate elegantly.
- 67
Spread the crumble over a small portion.
- 68
Now place the cocoa Mysore pak in a desire way, horizontally or vertically.
- 69
Now place the mango besan ladoo next to the pak..
- 70
Sprinkle some cashew powder over the top of dessert.
- 71
Place the edible flavoured flowers (colours choice)
- 72
I chose natural flower just for the garnishing purpose availed in my garden.
