Mysore Pak

What is a scrumptious dessert that is sure to be loved by people of all ages? Enter the beloved Mysore Pak recipe that gives your meal a perfect ending! History states that this sweet was first created in the kitchens of the Mysore Palace. One day the head chef, Madappa, simply made a concoction of besan, ghee and sugar which gave the dish a look of gleaming gold in colloid form. When the king asked the name of the sweet, Madappa didn’t have a name so he called it Mysore Pak, the word ‘pak’ denoting a sweet concoction. The sweet delighted the royals so much that it became a “royal sweet”.

While experimenting with sweet dishes can be left to chefs, you can’t experiment with your health when something as simple as a Mysore Pak recipe can give you unwanted calories. But never fear! Using a smart sugar like I’m lite which requires only half the usage when compared to ordinary sugar, to make your Mysore Pak recipe will guarantee that it is a perfect blend of taste and health in much the same way as I’m lite is a perfect amalgamation of sugar and 100% natural stevia.

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups sugar (Use half the quantity with I’m lite– 1 cup)
  2. 1 pinch baking soda
  3. 1 cup gram flour (besan)
  4. 3 cups ghee
  5. 1 cup water

Steps:

  1. Add 1 cup of ghee to a pan and heat over medium flame. Add gram and roast for few minutes.
  2. In another pan, boil I’m lite with water. Add the fried gram flour in it and stir well till it thickens.
  3. Heat the remaining ghee, add the gram flour mixture and stir continuously.
  4. When the ghee starts to rise up from the sides and begins to separate, add the cooking soda. Stir and pour into a greased plate.
  5. Gently spread the mixture and allow it to cool. Before it hardens fully, slice into desired shapes. Store in an airtight container and serve as you like.
