Mysore Pak (small)

How to Prepare

1. Heat 1 cup of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat.
2. Add 1 cup of gram flour (besan) to the ghee and stir continuously to avoid lumps, roasting until a nutty aroma emerges (about 5-7 minutes).
3. In a separate pan, prepare sugar syrup by boiling 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup of water until it reaches a one-string consistency.
4. Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the roasted gram flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
5. Add the remaining 1 cup of ghee in small portions, stirring well after each addition until the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan.
6. Pour the mixture into a greased tray or plate and spread evenly.
7. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut into small diamond or square shapes while still warm.
8. Allow it to cool completely before removing the pieces from the tray.
