Take a stroll down memory lane with me as I share the recipe for Soft Ghee Mysore Pak—an Indian delicacy that holds a special place in every heart. Let's recreate the magic together and savor the sweet nostalgia. 🌼🍯 #IndianSweets #MemoryLaneRecipe #MysorePakLove

Ingredients:

• 1 cup besan (chickpea flour)
• 1 cup ghee
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee over low flame until it's warm and melted.
2. Add besan to the melted ghee, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring over low heat until the besan turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This process takes around 15-20 minutes.
3. While the besan and ghee mixture is cooking, prepare the sugar syrup. In a separate pan, combine sugar and water. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer until you achieve a one-string consistency. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
4. Once the besan is roasted, slowly pour in the hot sugar syrup, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
5. Grease a tray or plate with ghee and transfer the Mysore Pak mixture into it. Level it with a spatula for an even surface.
6. Allow it to cool for a while, and while it's still warm, cut it into square or diamond shapes.
7. Once completely cooled, the Soft Ghee Mysore Pak is ready to be enjoyed. Store it in an airtight container for a delightful treat anytime.

This recipe offers a perfect blend of besan, ghee, and sugar, creating a melt-in-the-mouth texture that captures the essence of this classic Indian sweet. Enjoy the sweet symphony of flavors in each delightful bite! 🌟🍯 #MysorePakRecipe #IndianSweets #HomemadeDesserts #SweetTreats
