Sift besan twice to eliminate all lumps. Heat 1/4 cup ghee, pour over sifted besan, and whisk into a smooth lump-free paste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Sift besan twice to eliminate all lumps. Heat 1/4 cup ghee, pour over sifted besan, and whisk into a smooth lump-free paste.

Keep remaining 1.25 cups desi ghee hot in a saucepan on very low flame.

In a heavy kadai, boil sugar and 1/2 cup water until 1-string consistency.

Lower flame, add besan-ghee paste to sugar syrup, whisking vigorously to blend.

While stirring continuously, ladle 2 tablespoons of smoking-hot ghee into the besan mixture at regular intervals. It will froth and bubble as ghee is absorbed.

When mixture turns honeycomb-like and leaves pan sides, pour into greased tin immediately. Rest 10 minutes, slice into blocks while warm, and cool into soft Mysore Pak.
