fry besan in 2 tbsp of ghee till u get some nice aroma, mix the kaju pdr.

1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water boil to make syrup, let it boil for sometime, as when u drop in cold water it will form a ball. add the besan mixture to it, keep stirring well, add another 2 tbsp/ of ghee, once the sides bubble well, take off, pour in a greased plate, if u want add some pieces of nuts on top, cut before it hardens well. it will be soft unlike the mysore pak, has better taste due to kaju, needs less ghee too.
