Soft mysore pak / mysore pauk recipe for Diwali sweets
  • Take one measure gram dhal flour ( kadalai maavu ) , two measures sugar and two measures ghee
  • In a vessel take sugar and add the gram dhal flour and heat 
  • Add a little water to help the sugar  to dissolve
  • Sugar also gives out water which helps this process
  • Stir continuously so that pieces of gram dhal flour are not left 
  • While stirring continuously add the two measures of ghee, little by little
  • The mixture of kadalai maavu , sugar and ghee will form a semi solid mass
  • Keep stirring till this semi solid dough does not stick to the vessel
  • Mean while apply ghee on a flat plate and when the dough is ready pour on the plate
  • Shake well so that the mysore pauk dough spreads evenly through out the plate.
  • Allow it to cool for some time , and cut horizontally and vertically to get pieces
  • Break one mysore pauk to check , it should break softly to get perfect recipe
  • Try for Diwali or Navratri
