Wishing u all a very happy Raksha Bandhan. On this Rakhi festival day, I am here with an easy, peasy
3 minutes microwave sweet recipe, Mysore pak.
Thanks a ton Aarthi ( yummytummy) for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. I tried Mysore pak for the first time in my life and it was a huge hit among my family and friends. My family members are not a big fan of mysorepak. So I never got an idea to try this sweet recipe by seeing the time consuming procedure and the gallons of ghee. But I know my Sister is a die hard fan of mysore pak especially from Sri Krishna sweets and Salem Lakshmi sweets. She loves the soft, melt in mouth texture and she never minds about emptying one full box of it in one day. So just for her sake, I wanted to try Mysore pak recipe for this year’s Diwali.
When I saw this super easy, Instant microwave mysore pak recipe & that too in less than 5 minutes, I got tempted like anything and bookmarked it immediately. In this method, you don’t have to worry about sugar syrup consistency,no stirring job, less ghee comparitively & moreover it gets ready in 5 minutes. Its really a great sweet for beginners to try.
In Facebook’s Bombatt bhojana group, few people had tried the same and shared their pictures too. This gave me double assurance for this recipe to try. So what else, I tried this yummy mysore pak recipe for 3 times since yesterday & passed some of them to my friends too.They all loved it very much, took the recipe, tried it immediately & shared their pictures with me. I was so happy because this is the first recipe which became a super hit even before I blog it here.
I have shared all the possible tips in “Note” section. This mysore pak won't come out so porous and not so soft like SKC's mysore pak. Its texture would be in the middle. But this recipe really makes wonders in less than 5 minutes I should say!. Try this, you will come to know. I was very much satisfied with my first attempt. I will try to share the stove top authentic mysore pak recipe for this Diwali.
Friends, do prepare this easy, yummy mysore pak recipe for Raksha bandhan celebration & treat your brothers. Lets see how to make this mysorepak at home using microwave instantly !!
Easy microwave mysore pak recipe
Easy,instant mysore pak recipe using microwave in less than 5 minutes
Cuisine: Indian
Category: Sweet
Serves: 6-8nos
Prep time: 5 Minutes
Cook time: 3 Minutes
Total time: 8 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
- Besan flour - 1/2 cup
- Powdered sugar or icing sugar - 1 cup
- Melted ghee - 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp
- Boiled & cooled milk - 2 tsp ( at room temp,not hot)
METHOD
- Powder 1/2 cup of crystal sugar to a fine powder. U will get around 1 cup.Set aside. Melt ghee & measure it. Set aside.Keep a plate ready greased with ghee.( I used my aluminium burfi plate which i bought from Salem) . In a wide bowl, sieve the gram flour. Keep aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl (preferably glass bowl), take 1 tbsp of melted ghee & add the sieved gram flour. Mix well and keep it in microwave high power ( mine is 800w) for 1 minute. It will get roasted well.
- Now remove the roasted gram flour in a bowl and set aside. In the same microwave bowl, take 1/2cup of melted ghee, add the powdered sugar or icing sugar & 2 tsp of milk. Mix well.
- To this, add the roasted gram flour without any lumps( this is more important to get a soft, non-crumbly mysore pak).
- Mix well and microwave in high power for 1 minute. U can see the ghee completely melted and floating on top. Remove and stir it well.
- Again microwave for 1 minute in high power. Take it out, you can see foamy texture with bubbles in it. If its not foamy, mix well & keep it again for 20 seconds. ( You can increase the timing to 30 seconds based on the texture)
- After 20 seconds, remove & just pour it in the greased plate, press it very well with the back of spatula and smoothen it. The mixture will be slightly crumbly. Don’t worry.
- Leave it aside for 10-15 minutes. Once it becomes warm, draw shapes. Remove once its cooled down completely.
Serve n enjoy it ! Tastes yummy.Initially you may feel it little hard but as the time proceeds, it will become soft. It tastes best the next day. But everything will be vanished within NO time!!
Note
- Cooking time depends on the heat & power of microwave. But don’t worry, even if you keep it for 30secs extra by mistake, it comes out well. But at any cost, do not keep it more than 2 mins 30 seconds excluding roasting time.
- I used melted ghee in this recipe. If you use frozen ghee, take the required ghee & melt in microwave for 1 minute each time and then use. Do not use frozen ghee as it is. It won’t work.
- Don’t worry if the mixture becomes crumbly because of over cooking. Just spread the mixture in greased plate and press it very well with a spatula or with your hands covering the mixture with sheet.Careful,it would be very hot. It will set when it turns warm. Tastes good too. Second time, I over cooked it slightly & color became dark but still the taste was great.
- Make sure there are no lumps in besan flour before & after roasting because lumps results in uneven cooking and crumbly mysore pak. So better break it well with your hands or sieve it well.
- As I said, it tastes the best as time proceeds. So reserve few pieces to check its actual taste the next day.
- U can also use icing sugar instead of powdered sugar.
- If using crystal sugar,powder 1/2 cup of it. U will get little less than 1 cup. But that’s enough for this sweet.
