Mysore Pak

Ingredients

• Kadala Maavu(Besan Flour) - 3/4 cup 
• Mava Milk Powder - 1/4 cup
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Ghee - 1/2 cup
• Oil (Refine Oil / Olive Oil) - 1/2 cup
• Water - 1/2 cup

Preparation

• Heat the Oil and ghee in a pan
• Parallely sieve the Kadala Maavu and Milk mava powder together in a sieve, so they get mixed well and place it in a plate or another vessel.
• Pour a few spoons(4-5) of the hot oil/ghee mixture to the above mixture and rub it will finger nicely till they form small crumbs
• Grease a plate or container with ghee, where the flour can be poured when ready and to cut as pieces.
• In another vessel add the half cup water and sugar and dissolve it well and bring it to a boil.  Let it get to a kambi padam (touch it with two fingers to see a small kambi like form when you separate the fingers).  At this stage change the heat to medium / low flame.
• Start adding the flour mixture spoon by spoon and mix well.  It will start forming a nice paste, keep stirring continuously along with adding the flour mixture.  If someone is around to help, you can ask them to add the flour in the spoon(/small karandi), while you are mixing it continuously.  Once all the flour is added and mixed well make sure there are no lumps and heat is still in medium flame so that it does not become too red, but just cooked in the sugar syrup.  It will look cooked while stirring and start leaving the edges of the vessel.
• At this stage start adding the hot ghee/oil mixture with the spoon/karandi, the flour will now start to froth, but keep stirring and add the oil spoon by spoon while stirring continously, it will froth well and start leaving a nice aroma as well.  As we keep stirring it will absorb the ghee/oil, and one stage stay as it is, generally i would have about a karandi or two left when this happens,you can add just one karandi ghee/oil mixture at that stage..
• Pour  the frothing mixture now, need to be very quick at this, and pour them all, and flatten it will the karandi so they all settle flat.  
• Let it settle, and with a knife cut it into squares or diamonds as desired.
