Mysore Pak is a melt-in your mouth Indian sweet. During festivals especially Diwali, people indulge in this delicacy as you really cannot stop with just one. The method of making is quite simple and uses only 4 ingredients, but when any step is overdone or underdone it will ruin the final product. So it’s important to follow the exact proportion of ingrediants and cooking time to get it right. If you try this recipe do share your cooksnaps with me!
Happy Cooking! ❤️

In another pan add 1 cup sugar with 1 cup water. Dissolve completely. Only cook till small bubbles appear. Turn off flame. If you boil sugar any longer mysurpa gets very hard.
4

Add the ghee Besan mixture to this sugar syrup. Keep stirring continuously on a low flame without burning.
