    Step By Step Details on Making of Special Mysore Pak:

    1. Sieve gram flour and roast it well,until you  get nutty aroma.Gram flour colour turns light golden colour. Roast it on a medium to low heat ,take measures not to burn it.
    Once it's almost done add 1 /2 tablespoon of ghee mix it well, again add ½ tablespoon mix it well ,such that no lumps are formed and turn of the heat.
    2. Take Sugar in a heavy bottom deep kadai ( Don't use nonstick ware ) add water just enough to immerse sugar (Around ¾ Cup). Keep it on a high flame,once it starts to boil reduce the heat to medium low and boil sugar syrup till you get 1 string consistency.
    When you touch the sugar syrup between the fingers,you should get  1 String, that's the right consistency. This is called as "Pak" Now reduce the heat to low flame/ sim.Meanwhile grease the pan /tray/plate and keep it aside.
    3.Divide the roasted gram flour/ besan into four parts and add one part of the  gram flour into sugar syrup and whisk well so that no lumps are formed. It starts to froth,add 2nd part of the flour ,whisk well and again repeat it for remaining flour.
    Just make sure you add roasted gram flour part by part rather than adding it all together,just to ensure that no lumps are formed .
    4.Take 1 cup Ghee and divide into 4 parts , add ghee part by part thoroughly and whisk , once ghee is absorbed  add one more part of ghee and mix well,repeat the process till you complete all 4 parts of ghee.
    5. Keep Mixing so that Ghee is well incorporated within the besan. When it starts leaving the edges and looks like foam mass ,add 1-2 tablespoon of ghee mix well .
    6. Transfer the mixture to a prepared greased pan,When its still warm,cut into rectangle/desired shapes. When it cools down completely,cut the precut mysore pak and store it in a airtight container.It stays good for 15 days ,you can refrigerate it too.
    But before serving just microwave it for 20 seconds ,so that ghee melts down and tastes good.
