Now, add ghee in parts. First, add a ladle full of ghee. You will observe a lot of bubbles and frothing in the besan mixture.
The moment you add ghee, mix it with the besan with the help of a spoon or spatula.
Keep the flame medium-low or medium.
Mix really well.
All the ghee will be absorbed well first, and you will notice a smooth molten besan mixture. Now, with non-stop stirring, cook the besan mixture on a medium-low flame.
The mixture will soon start to leave the sides of the kadhai or pan.
When the mixture comes together, continue the stirring and scraping.
When you start to see many small bubbles and holes in the mixture, then take off the pan of the stove.
Quickly tilt the Kadai and pour the whole mixture into the pan.
Level it with a spatula.
Let the Mysore Pak mixture become warm or cool down.
