Makes: 16 nos

Ingredients

Please use same measuring cup to measure besan (gram flour), ghee and  sugar. Here I used Indian standard measuring up of  100 ml / 4 oz capacity.  My  Microwave oven  is Whirlpool Magi Cook (22GSi) 750 W and microwave safe bowl is 1 ½ litre capacity.

1 cup  besan (gram flour/ kadala maav / chone pitti), sieve twice

1 tablespoon ghee (to fry besan)

2 cups   sugar (measure sugar and then make a fine powder)

1 cup ghee  (100 ml)

2 tablespoon boiled milk (@normal temperature)

1 teaspoon ghee (to grease steel thali / baking dish)

Method

Heat ghee in a pan on medium heat. Add sieved besan and  gently fry on a low heat for 4 – 6 minutes until the raw smell goes. Stir continuously.

Melt ghee in a microwave safe bowl of 1 ½ litre capacity for 1 minute on high heat (750 W).

Grease a steel thali / baking dish /microwave safe bowl with 1 teaspoon ghee. Keep it ready.

Now  mix melted ghee with fried besan, powdered sugar and milk. Stir it  well with a thick tablespoon. It should be a smooth paste  ( without  any lumps)  and microwave on high heat / power (750 W) for 2 minutes. Mixture will boil vigorously and with lots of bubbles. That's the right consistency.  Switch off the heat / power. Immediately  transfer Mysore pak mixture into a greased  dish. Spread it evenly with a flat spatula. Keep aside to cool for 10 – 12 minutes and then cut it into desired shape and size.
