Tips to Mysore Pak
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the Mysore Pak sweet from sticking, making it easier to stir and remove once it’s set.
- Before using besan, sift it to remove any lumps. This ensures a smooth texture for your Mysore Pak sweet.
- Make sure the ghee reaches the right temperature before adding the besan flour. It should be hot but not smoking. This helps achieve the desired texture and prevents the Mysore Pak from becoming too greasy or crumbly.
- Stir the besan and ghee mixture continuously over medium heat to avoid lumps and ensure even cooking.
- Add a pinch of cardamom powder to the mixture before it sets for added flavour.
- Allow the Mysore Pak sweet to cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help it set properly and retain its shape.
FAQs on Mysore Pak
1. Can I replace gram flour with any other flour in the Mysore Pak recipe?
Substituting gram flour with other types of flour may alter the taste of the Mysore Pak. Therefore, it's best to stick to gram flour for an authentic Mysore Pak experience.
2. What if my Mysore Pak turns out too hard or crumbly?
If your Mysore Pak turns out hard or crumbly, it could be due to overcooking or insufficient ghee. Ensure you cook the besan mixture to the right consistency and use the recommended amount of ghee in the above Mysore Pak recipe. Adjusting these factors can help achieve a softer texture in your dessert.
3. Why is Mysore Pak sticky?
Mysore Pak is sticky because the mixture isn’t cooked enough. To fix it, cook the mixture for a longer time on low heat, or at a slightly higher temperature, until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
4. Can I reduce the amount of ghee in the Mysore Pak recipe?
MILKMAID and ghee are two key Mysore Pak ingredients that contribute to its rich taste and delicate texture. However, if you want to reduce the amount of ghee for some reason, you can try using a slightly lesser quantity. Keep in mind that it may affect the final texture and flavour of the Mysore Pak.
