This is my friend ELJAY’S fool proof mysore pak recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup besan flour ( roast and then sift it, so it is fine)
2 cups sugar
1 to 2 cups ghee

Mix the besan and sugar with a little water, so that it resembles thick dosai batter. Add a little ghee to this, and stir over low heat in a thick bottomed pan. Add ghee as you stir, till the mixture reaches a thick paste consistency. Now continue to stir till it begins to leave the sides of the pan, and is frothy and begins to lighten in colour.

When you pour it on the greased plate, it should spread and as it does, it should have air escaping in bubbles on the top. That is what makes it light. Before it cools, cut with a sharp greased knife.

I like this method of making mysore pak, because it eliminates the need for me to check the consistency of the sugar syrup.

You should get about 25 pieces in this recipe. As you increase the ghee, it becomes lighter and tastier
