Soft and porous almond fudge-speciality from Southern India
Mysore pak is a speciality from Southern India.It is made with generous amount of ghee.The traditional mysore pak is made with gram flour,but there are few versions of making this,mysore pak is also made with flour/maida and nuts etc.
I learned this badam mysore pak from a very good friend of mine and till then I am making this on all the festivals as every one in my family loves this badam mysore pak.
The making of mysore pak is little tricky,you need to have some practice and patience for making this,otherwise the method is very simple,you have to collect all the ingredients in the pan and then keep stirring for about 20-25 minutes.
If done correctly you will get a soft and porous Badam mysore pak.otherwise you will get a soft and flat mysore pak.
Prep time-10 min
Cooking time-25 min
Cuisine- Indian
Type-dessert
INGREDIENTS-
1- Grind raw almonds,no need to soak or peel them.
2- The mixture should be stirred continuously in one direction
3- For a soft and porous mysore paak you need little patience and practice.
4-You can also make mysore pak with pistachio,cashew or a mixture of almond,cashew and pistachio.
5-The tricky part is to check the point of doneness(when to remove the mysore pak from the pan and spread in the plate) as undercooked mixture will result in a flat mysore paak and If overcooked the mysore paak become hard.But after 1-2 trail and errors you become an expert in making mysore pak.
