Mysore pak

Besan 1 cup                                    ghee 2 cups

Sugar 1 ¾ cup                                water ½ cup

Method

1)      heat water in a thick pan & dissolve sugar.

2)      Add besan, stirring to dissolve any lumps.

3)      Separately heat ghee.

4)      When the besan mixture starts bubbling, add ghee 1 tbsp at a time, stirring continuously.

5)      As it cooks, it thickens & becomes porous & spongy.

6)      As it leaves the sides of the pan & ghee starts to come out of the mixture, pour on a greased plate.

7)      Cut it while still warm into desired shape.

Ps- in case you want to have a soft mysore pak, add ½ cup of cashew nut pdr. or paste to besan & cook in the same way.
