Mysore Pak

Here's a sweet dish for you all for Diwali. Hope you will like it.



Ingredients:
Gram Flour - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 3/4 cup

Method:
Sift gram flour to make sure there are no lumps.
Take sugar in a deep pan. Add very little water (about 1/4 cup) just enough to coat the sugar and heat.
When the sugar forms 1 string consistency (when you place a drop of sugar syrup between your forefinger and your thumb and pull apart gently, single thread is formed. it will take 7-8 minutes approximately on medium flame), add the flour and stir continuously. Add ghee gradually. After 2 minutes, the mixture will absorb all ghee and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Transfer it immediately to a greased plate and spread it evenly with a flat spatula.
Don't let the mixture cook for too long. It will crumble.
Cut into desired shapes when still hot.
