Ingredients needed
You can use any cup for measurement for this recipe.
Bengal gram flour/kadalai mavu/ besan -1 cup
Sugar – 2 cups
Ghee – 1 3/4 – 2 cups
A tray greased with ghee
Preparation
Sieve besan and dry roast it until slightly hot to touch. Spread it on a paper and let it cool.
Keep all the things ready including the greased tray.
Method
Melt ghee and keep it over a bowl of water in low flame as the ghee should be hot while adding.(see picture)
What is one string consistency? – take a little sugar syrup, cool it and stretch the syrup between the thumb and index finger, if it forms a thin string, it is the correct stage.
It will start bubbling and when the besan mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan, remove from flame and pour it into a greased tray or plate.
Allow it to cool. After it cools a little, cut into desired shapes. Then remove the pieces gently after it is cooled completely.

Important points
Use fresh ingredients only. Avoid using old stock bengal gram flour.
The whole process should be done in medium flame and stirring continuously is very important.
Another variation (my friend’s recipe)
Instead of 2 cups of ghee, you can use 3/4 – 1 cup of ghee and 1 cup of refined oil.

Dear can I reduce the amount of ghee?

Very interesting recipes.I tried the mysorepak with refined oil.came out excellent.thanks for the diwali preparation well in advance.
Looks good.
On the contrary, this is the authentic Mysore Pak :), the harder version is made that way because it is cheaper and therefore economical to make and serve a crowd.
I tried making this and it came out excellent. I reduced the amount of Ghee to 1.5 cups. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
Was it soft with 1.5 cups of ghee?? I mean like the famous Sri Krishna Sweet's ghee Mysore pak,soft and chewy in texture??
Yes, it will be soft and melt in your mouth similar to Sri Krishna sweets.
