Easy Microwave Mysore Pak Recipe
Easy, instant mysore pak recipe using microwave in less than 5 minutes.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 cup – 250ml
- ½ cup Besan flour (approx. 50g / 1.8 oz)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar or icing sugar (approx. 120g / 4.2 oz)
- ½ cup Melted ghee + 1 tbsp (approx. 135 ml / 4.5 fl oz)
- 2 tsp Boiled & cooled milk (approx. 10 ml) (at room temp, not hot)
Instructions
- Powder 1/2 cup of crystal sugar to a fine powder. You will get around 1 cup. Set aside. Melt ghee & measure it. Set aside. Keep a plate ready greased with ghee. (I used my aluminium burfi plate which I bought from Salem). In a wide bowl, sieve the gram flour. Keep aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl (preferably glass bowl), take 1 tbsp of melted ghee & add the sieved gram flour. Mix well and keep it in microwave high power (mine is 800w) for 1 minute. It will get roasted well.
- Now remove the roasted gram flour in a bowl and set aside. In the same microwave bowl, take 1/2 cup of melted ghee, add the powdered sugar or icing sugar & 2 tsp of milk. Mix well.
- To this, add the roasted gram flour without any lumps (this is more important to get a soft, non-crumbly mysore pak).
- Mix well and microwave in high power for 1 minute. You can see the ghee completely melted and floating on top. Remove and stir it well.
- Again microwave for 1 minute in high power. Take it out, you can see foamy texture with bubbles in it. If it is not foamy, mix well & keep it again for 20 seconds. (You can increase the timing to 30 seconds based on the texture)
- After 20 seconds, remove & just pour it in the greased plate, press it very well with the back of spatula and smoothen it. The mixture will be slightly crumbly. Don’t worry.
- Leave it aside for 10-15 minutes. Once it becomes warm, draw shapes. Remove once it is cooled down completely.
- Serve and enjoy it! Tastes yummy. Initially you may feel it little hard but as the time proceeds, it will become soft. It tastes best the next day. But everything will be vanished within NO time!!
Notes
- Cooking time depends on the heat & power of microwave. But don’t worry, even if you keep it for 30secs extra by mistake, it comes out well. But at any cost, do not keep it more than 2 mins 30 seconds excluding roasting time.
- Melted ghee is used in this recipe. If you use frozen ghee, take the required ghee & melt in microwave for 1 minute each time and then use. Do not use frozen ghee as it is. It won’t work.
- Don’t worry if the mixture becomes crumbly because of over cooking. Just spread the mixture in greased plate and press it very well with a spatula or with your hands covering the mixture with sheet. Careful, it would be very hot. It will set when it turns warm. Tastes good too. Second time, I over cooked it slightly & color became dark but still the taste was great.
- Make sure there are no lumps in besan flour before & after roasting because lumps results in uneven cooking and crumbly mysore pak. So better break it well with your hands or sieve it well.
- As I said, it tastes the best as time proceeds. So reserve few pieces to check its actual taste the next day.
- You can also use icing sugar instead of powdered sugar.
- If using crystal sugar, powder 1/2 cup of it. You will get little less than 1 cup. But that’s enough for this sweet.
