| Mysore Pak Telugu Recipe |
Ingredients:
- Gram Flour – 750 gms
- Sugar – 200 gms
- Water – 110 gms (or 110ml)
- Ghee – 100 gms
- Vanaspati – 100 gms
Preparations:
Take a microwave safe bowl which is easy to handle. In the bowl add ghee and mix vanaspati. Place this ghee-vanaspati mixture bowl in microwave oven and heat on high power for 10 to 15 seconds or till the mixture is hot.
Take a cake tin and smear ghee in the inner sides and bottom.
Method:
Place a pan on the gas stove on low flame. Cooking of this dish is done entirely on low flame only. Add water and sugar to the pan. Cook the sugar solution stirring till it reaches one thread consistency. When sugar solution starts boiling place the candy thermometer and cook it reaches 110oC. When the syrup reaches one thread consistency (110 degrees C) add gram flour and mix well. Mix the gram flour till there are no lumps. Cook the mixture till it becomes somewhat thick. Meanwhile heat the ghee mixture in microwave oven on high power for 10 to 15 seconds. When the gram flour starts thickening add some ghee mixture and keep stirring till all the ghee is absorbed by the gram flour-sugar mixture. Keep stirring the mixture all the while. The gram flour while getting cooked smells raw. We need to add ghee and fry till the raw smell of gram flour vanishes and a nice aroma fills the space. Mean while heat the ghee mixture in microwave oven on high power for 10 to 15 seconds once again. When all the ghee is incorporated into the gram flour mixture, add some ghee mixture and mix again. Wait till all the ghee is absorbed. Now repeat the process of heating and adding some of the ghee mixture to the gram flour mixture. In this process the gram flour gets cooked in the sugar syrup and gets fried in the ghee mixture. At one stage the gram flour mixture will not absorb any more ghee. By this time the raw smell of the gram flour also vanishes giving a nice aroma of fried gram flour. The color of the gram flour mixture also changes slightly. Now work fast from this stage. At this stage immediately take the pan off the flame and transfer the mixture to the prepared cake tin. Spread evenly with the flat ladle and leave it aside till all the ghee is absorbed. Once all the ghee is absorbed immediately cut into desired shapes within the cake tin. Leave this marked mixture aside to cool completely.When the mixture is cool turn it into a plate and break near the cut marks to separate the pieces. When we observe a piece, we find the middle portion of the piece is slightly darker than the top and bottom portions. The heat inside the mixture is the reason for the change in color in the middle portion. The mysore pak is ready to serve.
