Ingredients
- Gram flour- also called Besan or Kadalai Maavu or Senaga Pindi
- Ghee – for this recipe, I have used melted ghee.
- Milk- the traditional version does not use milk but this version needs some.
- Powdered sugar- In a normal blender, blend 1.25 to 1.5 cups sugar. You may need more or less to make 2 cups exactly
Recipe Notes
- Measurement and timings are key factors in this recipe.
- If you are unsure about how your microwave works, I recommend beginning to cook in 30 sec bursts to avoid burning.
- Microwave settings and temperatures differ from model to model.
- Use microwave safe Pyrex or glass bowls to avoid breakage.
- Greasing the pan before you begin the process will make the whole deal a lot easier.

Servings: 16 pieces
Calories: 207kcal
Equipment
- 1 microwave oven
- 2 Mixing bowls
- 1 Whisk electric ones work well!
- 1 set measuring cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gram flour kadala maavu/ besan/ chickpea flour sifted thoroughly
- 2 cups powdered Sugar
- 14 tbsp Ghee in melted form
- 3 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Ghee for greasing the tray
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt 2 tbsp ghee on high.
- Add the sifted gram flour to this and mix thoroughly using a hand whisk. Make sure the ghee spreads evenly with the flour.
- The gram flour must look crumbly after this.
- Place this in the microwave and cook on high for 1 min 10 secs.
- If you are a beginner, I recommend beginning with 60 secs of cooking time and increasing it in 10 second bursts.
- You will know its done when you can smell the roasted fragrant flour.
- Once done, in another microwave safe bowl, melt the remaining ghee on high.
- To the ghee, add powdered sugar, milk and mix thoroughly.
- Once done, grease a tray or a plate with some melted ghee and set aside.
- Now, add the roasted flour in batches gradually and whisk thoroughly using hand whisk or an electric beater.
- I found that whisking with the electric beater gave me an amazing texture when compared to the hand whisk. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
- Place this mixture in the microwave and cook for 1 min on high.
- At this stage, you can see that the ghee begins to melt on the top.
- Mix the mixture again with a whisk and pop it back in the microwave.
- Cook for 1 min more.
- You will see that the mixture begins to foam up.
- Mix well again.
- Pop back in the microwave and cook for 20 secs more.
- Pour this mixture in the greased plate and gently even it out.
- Let it become a little cool before you make cuts.
- Once slightly cool, make cuts with a sharp knife and let it cool completely.
- Invert on a tray and store in an airtight container.
Notes
1. The gram flour must be sifted thoroughly to get rid of lumps. The mysore pak wont come out well if there are lumps in the flour and you will find it difficult while mixing.
2. Adjust sugar level according to your palate. You may also use 1.5 c of powdered sugar.
3. The highest power setting on my microwave is 900 W. Yours may vary. If its higher, try cooking the mysore pak 20 secs lesser than the time mentioned. If its lesser, try cooking for 20 more secs than the time mentioned. 4. For measurement purposes, I have used a standard set of measuring cups where 1 cup =240 ml.
