Ingredients

Sanagapindi (Besan, Gram Flour): 1 Bowl

Panchadhara (Shakkar, Sugar): 2 Bowls

Neyyi (Ghee): 2 Bowls

Procedure

Step 1: Preparing the Sugar Syrup

Heat 1/2 glass of water in a container. Add 2 bowls of sugar to the boiling water and stir continuously until the sugar completely melts.

Step 2: Smoothing the Gram Flour

Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of ghee to the gram flour (sanagapindi) to smoothen the mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 3: Combining Syrup and Flour

Slowly add the smoothed gram flour mixture to the boiling sugar syrup while continuously stirring to prevent any lumps from forming.

Step 4: Cooking the Mixture

Keep mixing the mixture consistently and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes until it reaches a medium thickness.

Step 5: Finalizing the Mixture

Add a pinch of baking soda and 2 bowls of ghee to the mixture. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 6: Shaping the Sweet

Apply 1 teaspoon of ghee to a plate to prevent sticking. Pour the sweet mixture onto the greased plate, spreading it evenly.

Step 7: Cooling and Cutting

Allow the sweet to cool for about 5 minutes. Before it hardens completely, cut it into desired pieces.

Remove the Mysorepak pieces from the plate, and they are ready to serve. This sweet can be stored for up to 15 days, maintaining its delightful taste and texture.
