Microwave Mysore Pak

Recipe Source: Indus Ladies
Though the texture and taste may not be exactly same as the traditional mysore pak, this recipe is definitely worth a try for 2 reasons
The amount of ghee used is nearly half compared to the traditional recipe
It just takes 5 minutes and you just dont need to worry about the sugar syrup consistency!

The taste was absolutely delicious.

Ingredients
Besan flour: 1/2 cup
Powdered sugar: 1 cup
Ghee: 1/2 cup
Milk: 2 tsp

Procedure:
Step1:
Sift the besan and keep it ready.

Step2:
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a pan and slightly fry the besan

Step3:
Heat the remaining ghee in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds in microwave

Step4:
Now add the fried besan, milk and sugar and mix well without lumps


 Step5:
Microwave this mixture for about 2-3 minutes. Mine got done in 2 minutes.(This really depends on the microwave)
The mixture should become porous. That is the consistency we should look for


Step6:
Pour in a greased pan and allow to cool for 10 minutes.Cut into desired shapes

Notes:

  • The original recipe did not call for frying the besan. I fried this to eliminate the raw smell of besan
  • I used confectioners powdered sugar. I am not sure if the regular sugar would work. The confectioners sugar had some binding ingredients
  • Remove from microwave once the mixture becomes porous. I tried this recipe before and I heated for 3 minutes. Around 1/4 cup of ghee got separated and the mysore pak was almost brittle. So check for the mixture every 30 seconds
