Mysore Pak

Ingredients:

Besan Flour(split peas flour) - 1 cup

Ghee -3/4 cup

Oil - 3/4 cup

Sugar - 1.5 to 2 cups

Method:

1. Mix the besan flour in two table spoons of ghee. Ensure it is thoroughly mixed. Take a tray and coat it with a little ghee, keep it ready nearby so you can quickly pour the batter. Mix the ghee and oil and heat it. Keep this mixture hot at all times.
   
2. In a heavy bottomed bowl, add the sugar, if you want it to be more sweet add 2 cups other wise add 1.5 cups. Pour water so it is 1/2 inch above the sugar. Turn on the stove.
   
3. As soon as the sugar syrup reaches a half-string consistency slowly add the besan flour and keep stirring so it doesn't get burnt at the bottom.
   
4. Keep stirring and little by little add the ghee and oil mixture. When you are doing this the batter will rise up. When it rises up for the third time, pour the batter in a tray.
   
5. Cut it into pieces of desired size immediately before it cools and place another tray or plate under the tray and turn it upside down.
   
6. Now take out the pieces one by one and let it cool. If you leave the pieces in the tray for too long, their centers will become too dark due to the heat inside.
   

Enjoy!
