    Mysore Pak Recipe

    One of my all time favorite homemade sweet is mysore pak. I always wanted to make the melt in mouth barfi like soft mysore pak. But I have never got a proper recipe. Finally yesterday I found a recipe in a old newspaper. The trick is to not cooking the gram flour mix too long. It has to be taken when it is still smooth. I made it and wow I was surprised with the results.

    About Ghee Mysore pak

    Mysore pak is a besan burfi which is made with gram flour, sugar, and lots of ghee. The texture of mysore pak should be very soft, fudgy and melt in mouth texture. 

    Traditional Mysore pak is made in a little different method. Ghee is heated in a separate pan till very hot. Gram flour is mixed with sugar syrup in a separate pan. The hot ghee is ladled in and kept on mixing. The process goes like, one person keep mixing the gram flour and another person keeps adding the ghee. So it is a two man's job. At one stage it gets frothy thats when the mixture is poured in mould. This is how my mom makes her mysorepak.

    There is another version where they add baking soda in mysore pak which creates a hole like porous texture in mysore pak. The sweet is little hard in texture too. It is called as koodu mysore pa.

    I have shared quite a few mysore pak recipe. I have shared my mom's mysore pak recipe, Ghee mysore pak recipe, Microwave 5 mins mysore pak recipe as well.

    How to Make Mysore Pak Recipe at Home

    1) Dont heat ghee or oil till super hot. You have to warm it lightly.This step is for getting the raw smell out of the gram flour.
    2) You can even toast the gram flour lightly to remove raw smell. but i didn't have any raw smell at all.
    3) Dont add too much sugar. 1 cup was perfect.
    4) Getting the sugar consistency is very important. One string consistency.
    5) Keep cooking only the mentioned time. else the mysorepak will over cook.
    6) Once the mix gets thick,. turn off the heat and stir for 1 min.. THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL.
    7) The mysore pak mix has to be smooth. That gives the smooth texture.

          Tried the recipe, it came out really well. I used cocunut oil being a mallu. It had a coconut oil aroma but taste was awesome. It would had been good if u could have mentioned the type of oil to be used because Sri Krishna sweets Mysore Pak doesn't have a cocunut oil aroma.
          Thanks for the recipe.

            use flavourless oil like refined oil. coconut oil would be so strong.

      Hi Aarthi akka,
      I tried your recipe after seeing from your vlog... It came out really very well like krishna sweets.... I'm not a great fan of Mysore pak as it will be too sweet.. but the one I prepared with your recipe broke that.. I became addicted to this Mysore pak... I'm just a beginner in cooking.. your recipes are very easy to try.. BTW my dad loves it so much and keeps on eating it.. can't resist it.. Thank you akka..

        You can try adding it back into the pan and cook longer. But I am not 100% sure if you will get the texture properly.

        i think u have have to mix even more time so the texture changes to a burfi than halwa.

      Hi! I have 2 questions:
      1. Is it okay to tweak the oil and ghee ratio. For example 1 cup ghee and 1/2 cup oil?
      2. You have mentioned about roasting the gram flour? I assume its dry roasting? For how long?
      Thanks

        yes u can adjust but it is best to use the required amount of fat for the proper texture.
        Roasting is dry roasting for 1 to 2 mins.

      Thank you very much for the detailed recipe. I tried it making mysorepak for the first time and was so worried but I followed your instructions and it came out perfect! The only changes I made were to dry roast the gram flour a bit because I was worried about the raw smell, and adding a tiny bit of cardamom powder
