Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gram flour (besan)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Grease a square or rectangular tray with a small amount of ghee and set aside.
In a large bowl, sift the gram flour to eliminate any lumps and ensure smoothness in your Mysore Pak.
In a separate heavy-bottomed pan, mix sugar, low-fat yogurt, and water. Heat this mixture over medium flame, stirring continuously until the sugar completely dissolves.
Once the sugar syrup is well mixed, add the sifted gram flour slowly, ensuring no lumps form, and continue to stir. Maintain a gentle heat.
Add the ghee, one tablespoon at a time, and continue to stir the mixture consistently. This will help in creating a smooth texture.
Mix in the cardamom powder and baking soda, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
Continue cooking the mixture while stirring until it starts leaving the sides of the pan and forms a dough-like consistency.
Pour the mixture into the greased tray and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before cutting it into square pieces.
Once cooled and set, serve your low-fat Mysore Pak and enjoy this delicious treat with reduced guilt!
