Ghee Mysore Pak recipe | Mysore Pak | Mysore paagh | soft Mysore pak | sweet Mysore pak | mysorepa | mysurpa | Sri Krishna sweets style melt-in-mouth Mysore Pak | besan burfi | ghee burfi is a traditional Indian sweet. There are two versions of Mysore pak – hard & porous one, and melt-in-mouth one. This one is the soft melt-in-mouth, mouthwatering, fail-proof Mysore pak with 3 main ingredients. Mysore pak is a popular Indian sweet / dessert recipe from the state of Karnataka and hails from a royal family of Mysore.
My entire family loves this soft Sri Krishna sweets version of mysurpa.
Roasting Besan flour
For a perfectly soft ghee Mysore pak it is very important to roast the besan well. Well-roasted besan without any raw smell yields a tasty Mysore pak. Always chose fresh besan for silky smooth mysurpa texture. The key to perfect roasting is the low flame. Never sauté besan on high flame and do not increase the flame to medium. It might take 7-9 minutes for roasting. Adding ghee while roasting helps for easy roasting
Can I use milk for Mysore pak?
Yes, you can add half the quantity of milk instead of ghee but adding milk will change the flavor of the Mysore pak. It might resemble 7 cups of Burfi
Do I need this much ghee for Mysore pak?
Ghee is a key ingredient that determines the shape and texture of the Mysore pak. Mysore Pak turns soft if you add 1 cup of ghee for 1 cup of besan flour, but after trying this combination my family loves the ratio I used for Mysore Pak. It yields the best soft melt-in-mouth Mysore pak
Can I reduce the amount of sugar for Mysore Pak?
Yes, you can use 1 cup of sugar for 1 cup of besan flour if you prefer subtle sweetness, but to balance the besan flour I feel the twice amount of sugar compared to besan flour quantity makes a tasty, delicious Mysore Pak.

Notes
- Always roast the besan flour in low flame and make sure the raw smell completely goes off
- If you want to cut down the ghee you can add 1 cup of ghee but pls don’t reduce further as it will affect the Mysore pak texture
- Oil can be added but it won’t give the same flavor
- If you prefer mild sweetness add 1 cup of sugar but in that case use 1/4 cup of water for making sugar syrup
- One string consistency is very important or Mysore pak. As soon as you get it to add besan flour immediately
- Always cook Mysore pak in low flame for best result
- If you are doubtful if the mixture is ready to transfer for cutting, take a small portion and try to roll in your hands. If you can roll a small non-sticky ball, it is ready
- The moment the mixture stars leaving the pan with bubbles turn off the stove and transfer
- Carefully flip and cut the Mysore pak
If you are doubtful about flipping, cut after the top layer is firm and yet it remains on the tray. Take it out after 30 minutes - You can add any other flavors but that might alter the ghee Mysore pak taste
