One of my very close friend Priya is going to be a MOMMY soon and iam very happy for her. Till sometime back she was hardly eating anything but now she's getting better and has a craving for food especially sweets.She's one of the greatest admirer of my cooking, so why would i leave a chance now. Therefore i chose to make something special for her and Mysore-Pak surely is a special dish, isn't it!!!!!!
Its not a surprise for her as i told her already, very bad at giving surprises u know :(. So Priya if you read this post, can't wait to see you eating and praising me again....lol!!!

This delicious fudge from South -India has a granular texture. Do not be alarmed by the amount of ghee mentioned in the recipe as most of it is drained out at the end of the cooking process. No cut-backs on the quantity of ghee... the more the ghee, the more Mysore-Pak tastes better.
It is a very rich sweet and tastes heavenly. The sweet is as colorful and mouthful as its name sounds. You have to make sure to use fresh ingredients mainly Gram flour.
So here's the Recipe for you
Preparation Time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 20 mins
Standing Time : 3 mins
You will need:
1 cup Gram flour (Besan)
2 cups Sugar
2 cups Ghee (clarified butter)
1/2 cup Water
Greased baking dish
Directions:
Seive the gram flour well and mix it with a little ghee.
Take a thick bottomed vessel (kadai type or use non stick), melt 2 cups of ghee.
Take another vessel, boil 1/2cup of water for couple of minutes and add sugar.
Keep stirring till u get one string consistency.
Slowly add the flour stirring continuously so that no lumps are formed.
When it is well blended pour in slowly absolutely hot ghee stirring continuously.
Pour all the ghee little by little, continue stirring.
Cook till the mixture becomes frothy and the ghee separates.
Spread out on a greased plate or baking dish. When firm, cut the MYSORE-PAK into squares.
Serving ideas: Serve it as welcome dish, snack time , or after lunch or dinner .
Recipe Tips: Keep stirring the mixture, else it may stick to bottom and also form lumps.
My 2nd attempt
ANYTIME THIS DESSERT IS IRRESISTIBLE.
PS: I'm making this dish for the first time.......so pls ignore the shapes. That is all for now. Will come back soon with yet another interesting post! Stay Tuned!!!
This Mysore-Pak is on its way to 'Mithai Mela' hosted by Srivalli.

I'm sorry, but I didn't have patience to go through the recipe. I just skipped to the ending, which had the photos of the amazing sweets, and I looked at them for a good five minutes before I could turn away from them :P
I remember my sister having cravings like that when she was expecting, especially the time when she finished a 1kg Missisippi Mud Cake all by herself... and we didn't get even one bite! :D
Looking awesome Aruna! :)
I love Krishna sweets mysorepak.. Completely heavenly... :D

Mysore pak is ofcourse a heavy sweet but i wanted to try something spl and even she was very excited when i said i will make this sweet.
I've never had it and would love to try - sounds awesome!
wow.. nice clicks.. looks perfect & awesome...
hm... i can feel the soft taste of mysore pak here... tempting pic.
Aruna, it sure looks irresistable :) Yum! Btw, my friend tried to compromise on the ghee and ended up with sweet bricks :D
The pics look so festive!
hey Thanks Natasha......just give it a try. If u don't like ghee, u can use butter instead!!
hey thanks for visiting Sri!
thanks Adlak, yeah they turned out gr8.
actually Vibaas, the actual mysore pak happens in a fraction of 15seconds.......sometimes even if u put right amot of ghee, if u dont transfer the mixture on time, u will again end up with bricks!!!
hii!!..u know what!! This is my favorite sweet since my childhood!! I go mad at the mere sight of Mysore Pak!! IRRESISTIBLE!
Then i'm sure i made u happy with this sweet again Anil :))
yes..Of course..but if you had put the REAL Mysore Pak on the site, it would have been better!! Now I can only see at the home-made sweets![I don't like outside sweets]
I gave all the steps so that it will be easy for anyone to prepare it....try it out, this is ur chance to impress whoever u want to :)
I am a mommy too and ur friend too...where is my share of this beauty??? grrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Wow...thats quite a treat....my fav. sweet...Loved the presentation Aruna...i bet ur friend had a great time...convey my best wishes to her.
Sakshi, my doors r always open for u, come and have a bite. And do not worry about the amount of ghee, it all drains out completely by the time the actual mysore-pak happens!

aha, my fav. sweet! Lovely snaps and great instructions Aruna! Great job! Mysore Pak came out perfect. Mine end up in halwa all the time :) I will follow your instructions next time.
Yeah Uma its not as complicated as it sounds.....u need 2 be lil careful abt the timing especially when to transfer the final mixture to a dish.And u can see a gorgeous mysore-pak right in front of u!
Oh my gosh, breathtaking picture. What an effort you put in here...like this dessert so much, I know its hard to fix at home...great job buddy.
