Diwali

Ugadi

Weddings

Special occasions

🛒 Ingredients Required (ಪದಾರ್ಥಗಳು)

1 cup gram flour (besan / ಕಡಲೆ ಹಿಟ್ಟು)

1 cup sugar (ಸಕ್ಕರೆ)

1 cup ghee (ತುಪ್ಪ)

¼ cup water

That’s it! Only 4 main ingredients.

For better flavor, use pure homemade ghee.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation Method

Step 1: Roast the Gram Flour

Take a pan and dry roast gram flour on low flame.

Stir continuously for 3–4 minutes until nice aroma comes.

Do not brown it too much.

Roasting removes raw smell and improves taste.

Step 2: Prepare Sugar Syrup

In another thick-bottom pan:

Add sugar

Add water

Heat until sugar dissolves.

Cook until you get one-string consistency.

How to check?

Take little syrup between fingers.

If it forms one string, it is ready.

This stage is very important for perfect Mysore Pak texture.

Step 3: Add Gram Flour

Slowly add roasted gram flour into sugar syrup.

Keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Mix well.

Step 4: Add Hot Ghee Gradually

Heat ghee separately.

Add ghee little by little while stirring continuously.

This is the secret step.

As you keep adding ghee:

Mixture thickens

Bubbles form

Texture becomes porous

Continue stirring until mixture leaves sides of pan.

Step 5: Transfer to Tray

Grease a tray with ghee.

Pour mixture immediately and level it.

Let it cool slightly.

Cut into square or rectangle pieces while still warm.

Your traditional Karnataka Mysore Pak is ready!

🌟 Final Thoughts From My Experience

ನನ್ನ ಅನುಭವದಲ್ಲಿ, Mysore Pak ಮಾಡುವಾಗ patience ಬಹಳ ಮುಖ್ಯ. Quick cooking ಮಾಡಿದರೆ texture ಸರಿಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. When I first tried, I overcooked sugar syrup and sweet became hard.

After adjusting flame and stirring continuously, I achieved perfect melt-in-mouth texture.

If you are preparing this for festival or family gathering, homemade Mysore Pak always impresses everyone.
