Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Gram flour Kadalamavu
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups Ghee

Instructions
 

  • Take a wok and heat it up. Roast the gram flour until it becomes light brown in colour and keep it aside.
  • Melt ghee in a bowl and mix the roasted or fried gram flour in parts. Keep stirring and make sure that the flour is well mixed with ghee. Make sure there are no lumps left.
  • Meanwhile, take a thick bottomed vessel. Put sugar and add little water to make sugar syrup (the consistency should be hot and not thread-thin).
  • Immediately, pour the gram flour mixture into the sugar syrup and mix well. Cook in low to medium flame. Make sure that the flour is well absorbed in sugar syrup.
  • When the mixture comes together in one mass and you see some ghee at the sides, then continue to stir and scrape. When you see many small bubbles and holes in the mixture, then switch off the heat. When you reach this soft ball stage, you have to be careful. A few seconds here or there will ruin the texture of the mysore pak.
  • Grease a plate with ghee and pour this mixture on it. Immediately and quickly tilt the kadai and pour the whole mixture in the greased pan. It should fall in one lot and you shouldn’t need to use a spoon for it. Spread it level in the pan with a spatula, the back of small glass. Let the mysore pak mixture become warm or cooled down. Cut them in the shape of the diamonds.
