Mysore Pak
Didn't know this was such a simple recipe and I was not hopeful that I will succeed in the first go. But I did :)
you need
1 cup gram flour(besan)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup ghee
1/2 tspn cardamom powder
Heat 1 tbsp ghee and add flour.
On a medium flame, fry till nice aroma comes out of it and it turns slightly brownish. Take care not to burn, it burns easily, so make sure to keep stirring it. Take it out on a plate and keep aside.
Mix sugar with 1/2 cup water and bring it to boil, keep mixing with a spoon.
When it is boiling, and you can see rapid boiling, add the fried four and mix (do not wait till it forms syrup).
Now add 1 tbl spn ghee at a time, keep mixing all the time. When all ghee is done, keep mixing continuously. If you stop mixing for a min, you will see the mixture has lots of air in it and when you start mixing again, the air goes off.
When the mixture starts leaving edges and looks a bit dry, add cardamom, mix well and pour it into a greased plate and flatten immediately.
Cut into desired shapes.
