  • Add heated Ghee oil mixture little by little to the Flour sugar mixture little by little as it will take 20 mins to achieve the consistency, so stir continuously keeping on low heat.
  • Make sure the ghee oil mixture is hot. This helps the flour sugar mixture to cook well . When it starts to swirl it is ready to transfer to a greased pan.

Notes

Sieve Gram/ Chickpea flour and dry roast for 2 minutes.
Sugar syrup consistency is very important for a Soft Mysore Pak /Mysur Pak. If the syrup goes to the next stage Mysore Pak will become brittle and hard.
Heat ghee and oil together on medium heat and let it be hot while pouring in flour mixture.
Always prepare Mysore Pak /Mysur Pak in small batches as stirring the mixture continuously is tiresome.
