Mysore pak recipe – Traditional mysore pak, Diwali sweets

October 21, 2013 by Raks Anand 165 Comments / Jump to Recipe

1-traditional-mysore-pak recipe

Mysore pak recipe with step by step pictures Soft, melt in mouth mysore pak recipe with loads of ghee, traditionally made for Diwali. Try this mysore pak for Diwali and enjoy with you family and friends.

Mysore pak is a sweet that I am not a great fan, also I don’t hate too. When I was kid, I have seen my grandma and mom make this few times. But it’s not the same as we get in Sri Krishna sweets – that is oozing with ghee, smooth and soft. The one they make is crisp, not so hard but stiff mysore pak, that has tiny hollows (they say it as கூடு- koodu)  in tamil. The process uses less ghee and some part of oil and cooking soda to bring that koodu effect. That’s not so easy to get that texture with koodu. Also while that process, it oozes out the ghee, so they collect it too. That’s how it turns stiff and crispy. I love that version than Sri Krishna sweets mysurpa.

mysore-pak-traditional

This version is also the authentic preparation of mysore pak, it will melt in your mouth once you pop in your mouth, of course with loads of ghee. I used the recipe from the cookbook mom gave, with little changes. I agree, it’s not very perfect looking, but not bad for a first timer and also it tasted great! Vj just loved it and me too. Lets workout after Diwali and enjoy these sweets☝. So let’s make this traditional sweet for your family or for gift packing to your dear and near, for this Diwali. 😊

Soft Mysore pak | Traditional soft ghee mysore pak

Mysore pak recipe with step by step pictures Soft, melt in mouth mysore pak recipe with loads of ghee, traditionally made for Diwali.
Course Sweets
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 25
Cup measurements

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Gram flour/ Kadalai mavu
  • 1 cup Ghee
  • ¼ cup Oil
  • 1 & 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sugar for sprinkling Optional

Instructions

  • Sift the flour to get rid of the lumps. Keep a tray, greased ready. Place sugar in a heavy bottomed pan, with water enough to immerse it. Say 1 cup of water.
  • Boil until 1 string consistency. That is, if you check between your fingers, a string will form as shown in the picture. Keep the flame in medium when the syrup is nearing its stage. Swipe the back of the ladle u use in the syrup for checking.
  • Add the flour slowly stirring continuously. I used whisk for easy mixing. Mix until smooth. The flame should always be medium.
  • Mix and keep oil and ghee ready. Start adding ghee slowly and add continuously like 2-3 tblsp at a time. Keep stirring until the ghee mixes and then add the next batch of ghee and repeat until you finish the ghee.
  • At one stage, the the colour changes to pale and frothy here and there, so be alert at this time and lastly the whole mixture starts frothy as shown in the picture. Also there will be a pleasant cooked besan smell along with ghee smell. Add 2 tsp of sugar granules and mix quickly (optional).
  • Pour it to the greased tray and level it with a spatula. Sprinkle sugar if desired. Wait until warm and cut into desired shape. Let it cool down completely before transferring to the container.

Notes

  • Keep flame always in medium to not to miss the stage.
  • If you want you can cut off the oil and add ghee alone.
  • If you reduce the ghee  quantity, the texture wont be same soft and melt in mouth kind. So its up to you.
  • I used two bread pans for spreading. You can use a small plate/ tray as per your convenience.
  • Adding sugar at last stage gives a great texture but its optional.
  • Use good quality ghee as the ghee lends the main flavour for this sweet.
  • I was impatient to wait until it completely cool down, so I got some imperfection.
  • It is important to cook in medium flame for long time instead of cooking in high flame to ensure the besan is cooked to avoid besan smell. If you do it right, you will smell a pleasant besan flavour as it gets cooked in the process, towards the end.

How to prepare mysore pak step by step method:

  4. Mix and keep oil and ghee ready. Start adding ghee slowly and add continuously like 2-3 tblsp at a time. Keep stirring until the ghee mixes and then add the next batch of ghee and repeat until you finish the ghee. step4
  5. At one stage, the the colour changes to pale and frothy here and there, so be alert at this time and lastly the whole mixture starts frothy as shown in the picture.

    Thanks for the quick feedback. 🙂 Did you wait until it got cooled down. And u should cut it when it is warm and wait until it cools down completely. Otherwise, if you miss the last stage, it might get brittle but the whole thing will be brittle.

    You cannot say time for making sugar syrup – there are lots of factors to consider from water quantity, flame (Heat), the vessel you use. So you have to keep checking. immerse your fingers in water and then check by swiping the back of the ladle and put in between your fingers as show in the picture.

    Raks,
    First of all, thank you very much a million times over! I have practically learnt cooking by following your posts, to the extent that I am considered a 'good' cook by my wife, daughter and friends. I just made Mysore pak yesterday, but with a slight deviation from your recipe. I used 2 cups of besan, 2 cups of sugar and 1 1/2 cups of ghee and ended up with 56 pieces. Not as sinful as Krishna sweets variety, but tasty all the same. Just thought I'd let you know how much I appreciate your posts. Thanks once again – [email protected] Delhi

    It was fine till the 1 string consistency, I got it perfectly,
    then I started adding Besan & stirring continously,
    But as soon as I added the last tbsp of besan and stirred the mixture lost its consistency & became dry!!!! Even before I added ghee the mixture turned dry so I put ghee in the pan and the mixture started turning more dry and more brown in color.
    Where I went wrong, kindly advise

    Did you tasted after sometime? Still the same? For the given ghee, the flour gets roasted as we stir. So stir until slightly it gets starting golden colour here and there.

    Hi, I do not use kitchen scale as I am used to cup measurements. Its easy, quick and user friendly 😉 Coz all indian kitchen can easily have cups than kitchen scale and quickly measure.
    And all my recipes has loosely packed ingredients, unless otherwise it is mentioned as tightly packed. that is, when you take it from the container, measure as such (leveled, unless otherwise it is mentioned heaped) My 1 cup holds 240ml of liquid for your reference.

    My son loves mysore pak his grandma made.. and it was a hit and miss… so I adapted it for what US homes usually have: an oven, or a toaster oven.. After creating the soft slurry mix of besan, ghee, sugar and jusr enough water, pour that into a baking tray (metal or glass) lined with Al foil if you wish. Now, bake at 350 deg F till that flavor, softness/crispness is optimal: this is a slow process so you can watch it readily unlike on the stove. Minor delta: add saffron or cardamon seeds to the slurry for aroma!

    I roasted the flour before sieving with a tspoon of ghee ( I was afraid of the raw smell).

      Now, there is no fix for it sadly. Did you reduce ghee? FOr the amount of ghee it should not be hard. One more reason for hardness could be sugar syrup past the stage. Make sure to keep the flame in medium throughout the process. Also try to use heavy bottomed pan for even heat distribution.
