Hi friends! Our friend Divya Pramil from You too can cook Indian food. posted interesting contest. Its South vs North challenge and a way to learn new things.
According to the challenge teams were divided into North and South group and I belong to North group being from Mumbai, Maharashtra.
The first challenge came from Divya's southern team http://divyasculinaryjourney.blogspot.in/2012/10/mysore-pak.html and its Mysore pak.
For me looking at ingredients I thought should be easy but method got me stumped. I had to make sugar syrup and this is one thing I can never get it right. Maybe a mental block about this but I could never try anything which had sugar syrup in the method. Encouraged by Divya pramil and Shruti wahi and her tips on how to get it done along with step by step instructions I managed to make mysore paak first time in my life. Needless to say it came out perfectly and just like the way I love it.
So here is my recipe and for step by step instructions you can see divya's post.
Ingredients:
1 cup gram flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup ghee
1/4 cup oil
Method:
Grease a plate before only and keep it aside. Mix oil and gramflour. In a deep vessel, mix sugar and water and make 1 string consistency sugar syrup. This was the hardest part for me but seeing the pics and explained by shruti I knew when it was right. Next add the besan mixture to syrup stirring continously. Add ghee little by little and keep stirring. For me somehow 2tbsp ghee seemed enough. Keep stirring till mixture changes color and texture and leaves sides. Pour in greased plate immediately and tab the plate to straighten it. The mixture hardens immediately. While its still warm make desired shape cut and keep it aside. Remove from plate and store Mysore pak in airtight container.
Hope you all like it and hope the two Divyas Shruti and others and everyone like my very very very first attempt at this and thanks for this wonderful challenge I finally made something new which I love so much and it came out perfectly just the way I love it. I am sure going to make this again as only few pieces are left now. So what do you all think, waiting for your lovely comments.
