Preparation Time

1 Hour

Serve

4-6 People

Large non-stick pan or clean kadai
Stirring ladle
Strainer (for sifting besan)
Flat tray greased with ghee (for setting)
Measuring cup or tumbler
Sharp knife (for cutting pieces)

Sift the besan and dry roast it in a kadai for about 5 minutes until a nice aroma arises. Do not let it brown.
In another kadai, combine sugar and water and boil until it reaches a one-string consistency (when pulled between fingers, the syrup forms a single thread).
Gradually add the roasted besan into the sugar syrup, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Begin adding the pre-heated ghee little by little while stirring. Continue stirring non-stop from the beginning till the end.
Once the mixture starts leaving the sides and bubbles up, quickly pour it into the greased tray.
Allow it to cool slightly, then cut into square or diamond-shaped pieces.
And there you have it — a soft, traditional ghee Mysore Pak ready to enjoy!
