Hi Hari, wish you a very happy Deepavali. Mine has already begun off with a good start because of your Mysore Pak. I tried it this evening (Saturday) and it has come out very well. Even though I bake a lot, I don't make Indian sweets because I feel that it's not as easy as mixing and pouring things and putting it in the oven.
This recipe seemed pretty simple and I decided to give it a try and I'm so happy that I did it because it came out absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I have heard people saying that making Mysore Pak is very different which has stopped me from trying this all these years. I'm not hesitant anymore. I think another advantage for me was the electric range as against the gas stove. Unlike the gas stove, things don't get hot/cooked pretty quickly, which is an absolute blessing for recipes like this. As soon as adding the roasted gram flour it did start to form lumps which worried me quite a bit and I got the idea to use a potato masher to keep stirring the mixture which also broke down the tiny lumps. Great one Hari. I'm definitely going to keep making this every Deepavali. Thanks once a again.
