Gr8 job, loooove mysore pa, the animation at the end is exactly how i feel after eating it :)

[kalyani77]

this is an awesome way to prepare mysore pak.. although I was skeptical about the procedure, the end, well, spoke for itself.. Just one question though - is the process and ratio the same for any quantity (as I am trying it for the first time- want to try it out with a smaller quantity)

thx

Hello

We need to add basin right,you keep saying it as maida.

[oldernwiser0]

@swathidamodara yes, i did notice that and have mentioned the slip in the "more information " section of the video extracted here: "Note also, by oversight I have used the word maida in the commentary instead of besan / gram flour ..sorry for the slip ( there is no requirement of maida at all in this recipe ) "...

:-)

[silkorganza]

Hi! I really enjoyed your presentation and your speaking voice,very clear! Quick question did I miss you adding cardamom powder? Thanks again!

[oldernwiser0]

@silkorganza haven't shown adding the cardamom powder in the video, but i have mentioned it in the more information part pf the video, and yes, adding cardamom does it make it that much more flavoursome ! thanks .. and cheers ! :-)

[viaish]

hello sir... ur making is awesome.... it worked very well.... do u have any website?

[asokharinee]

I have a question. you use very little water for making the dough(should be like a roti dough as you mentioned). Is that water enough to make the dough?

[oldernwiser0]

@asokharinee yes, you have to use the minimum quantity that will turn the mass in to a hard dough, but if you by chance add more water, then it will take so much more time to reach the end point ...

[fazalullah11]

I tried it .but it comes out like besan halva not crisp and soft but soggy.although

i tried to cook , it gets like it is sticking in the pan .I am wondering is this under cook or over cooked.

[oldernwiser0]

oops ! yes, your guess that you have undercooked it is right .. you need to cook it till it changes color and starts to get thick ,,, and yes, this sweet does stick to the pan like concrete.. but you can minimise this by continously stirring the mix while cooking .. all the best with your next try .... cheers ! :-)

[2020abcd]

You definitely the wiser one...Q: does it come out porous? I couldn't see well in the video. Thanks!

[oldernwiser0]

yes, it does come out quite porous, yet very soft ( "melts in the mouth " ) . yes the video was taken with my digital camera and i also realised that the light in my kitchen in not adequate. thanks for your comments, much appreciated ! cheers ! :-)

[2020abcd]

Thanks! Happy Makar Sankranti!

[sucharitha100]

Honestly Sir,

All the other websites showing the mysore pak recipe were so complicated and your recipe is simply easy and wonderful. Whole hearted appreciation. Will try it out right now to make my husband happy because I was always spoiling the mysore pak. Thanks a lot. Sucharitha.

[oldernwiser0]

Believe me Ms Sucharita Mohan, I have had to waste tons and tons ( well almost ) of ghee, sugar and besan, not to mention the effort that goes with it and at one stage almost gave up trying to make this most favourite sweet of mine ! in fact i got my sister to show me how to make it ( she is an expert ) at least three times ( to no avail ) and have ultimately evolved this method ... i'm sure it will work for you and you and your family will enjoy this whenever you wish to ! thanks :-) cheers

[oldernwiser0]

you're welcome ! cheers ! :-)

[chirpysang]

Hi sir..thanks for showing this...it was easy.... ill surely try this.. i hardly makde sweets cos i dotn like much of sweets ..but i can surely learn to make...hope it turns out good like it did in ur video.. :)tc

[parwiz36]

lol end

[udnahc123]

watched some of ur videos......u show very easy ways...thanks for sharing

[durgaisiva]

it looks yummy! sure i will make today.thanks a lot for the reciepe.

[oldernwiser0]

it IS yummy ! and do let me know after you've tried ..cheers ! :-)

[Krithikaqq]

Novice cook. This method is not appropriate.

[oldernwiser0]

the method works ..and works for anyone...and works anywhere in the world ... and the method that works cannot be inappropriate ! i dont pretend to be a professional cook, and my methods are not meant as a professional cook showing how it is done, rather a novice cook to a novice cook ! so...

[Krithikaqq]

I did not mean to offend you in any way. The raw gram floor mixed with water followed by putting into ghee will not bring in the taste it is suppose to. I agree any method will cook these material but the result is what is questinable -:)

[oldernwiser0]

your comment was well taken .. and am sure you did give it as an honest opinion ..actually the raw gram flour is mixed with sugar and ground to a fine mix, then the ghee / oil is added ...and the result is perfectly the way all other mysore paks are ...believe me, i have wasted many kilos of ghee and sugar and gram flour and effort to come to this method .. all my other experiments just gave me either charred powder, or something similar ! i really think you should try it out .:)

[vattipulusu]

wow thats incredibly easy way of making mysorepak... Thanks for sharing.

One question: Is it necessary to drain out the oil . What if don't have a colandar.

[oldernwiser0]

thanks for your encouraging comment ..as regards draining out the oil, yes it is necessary to drain out the oil else it would be soggy.. if you dont have a colander, you could try resting the mold with a tilt, and leaving some gap at the lower side of the tilt while pouring the hot mysore pak.. and with experience you would be able to just add the right quantity of oil required so that there would be no excess.. :-)

[bobbykc13]

I do not see the dark brown color in the middle

[oldernwiser0]

in commercially made mysore paks, the mysore pak has a brown colour on the outside.. this they do by cooking it further till the mass just starts to turn brown and then pouring it..they further heat the mass after pouring it into the mould.. this is tricky and requires a lot of experience, else you might end up with a wholly black mass.. normally in home cooking this is a safe way ..:)

[gdjh93]

it looks soooo good!!!!

[KARStarla]

May I ask what this stuff is? I'm out of the loop here, is it a bread or a cookie, or a cake?

[oldernwiser0]

this is a sweet, very popular and highly regarded in south India, closer to a cookie in consistency ( i.e., is crumbly ) than a bread or cake, but much sweeter than a cookie.. hope that clarifies ?

[KARStarla]

Yes it does, once in awhile you come across a video that strikes your eye but you have no idea what something is, ya just have to ask lol

thank you yes!

[mazaq]

thanks for sharing this seems to be easy ,also draining oil is a good idea,will try to make this soon.

[oldernwiser0]

my pleasure ..am sure you will be able to make it good ! and all the best

[VRKOOLRU]

I was tempted to make Mysorepak after watching your video.I made it today n after tasting it , It reminded me of Sri Krishna Sweets Mysorepak of Chennai which my best friend Subha Sivkumar bought for me. Thank you Sir truly Older n Wiser....Thanks for sharing !

[oldernwiser0]

you're most welcome ! my pleasure.. !

[oldernwiser0]

one of my friends just pointed out that in one or two places during my narration .. i have used the word maida instead of besan .. am sorry about it . .it was a slip of the tongue .. not a fault of the mind !

[shabs603]

plz send me the recipe of rus malai with powder milk.

[shabs603]

plz se

[shabs603]

plz se

[nilainus]

Good work. Thanks for all the nice recipes.

[oldernwiser0]

my pleasure !

[parthasm]

I can understand how difficult it is to stir and holding the camera in another hand.. A tripod will help immensly for you or u need an assistant to shoot!

[oldernwiser0]

ah thanks for suggesting .. you guessed right i wish i had four or five hands to do these ! ..and i am painfully aware that the video shooting is not as steady as it should be . but believe me, i have been tripped by this three legged monster called tripod again and again, and an assistant i had was shooting all the things i did not want to waste the time of the viewers with .. but thanks for the suggestion.. will keep in mind and try to work out something better in future ..

[parthasm]

I dont guess Mr. OldNWiser.. I observe and conclude..!!!!!

[nilainus]

Looks like Partha sm has got real attirude Problems!!!! Be nice to the teacher Mr.Parthasm

[sendevz]

won't this measurement make the mysorepak too sweet?... can I reduce the sugar... will it make any difference to the mysorepak?

[oldernwiser0]

not really . you can reduce the sugar but you might find that the mysore pak gets very tough ..in fact when i tried 1:1 besan: sugar . i ended up with concrete.. lol so anywhere in between is ok

[sendevz]

Oh...I C... Will try with the measures given here once & then maybe I'll make the req changes to suit my taste... thanks a lot for the reply...:)

[minu24]

I always had a problem making mysore pak since the traditional method is quite cumbersome .Now i will try in this easy way you have shown! Thanks!

[oldernwiser0]

Do ! and please let me know whether it worked for you... best of luck !( you need about 3% good luck !)

[prisha91755]

Thanks,

As an American, I had no idea what was in mysore. I only knew I loved it. I will give it a try to make it myself. This looks easy enough.

[oldernwiser0]

youre welcome ... and let me know how it turned out .. since you probably havent tried it out before ... one or two tips might be in order : one, this is an unconventional method developed by me after several repeatedly frustrated efforts .. the most important part is to decide when to stop the cooking .. a fewq minutes earlier and you will end up with a gooey mass.. a few minutes late and you will end up with charcoal!

[prisha91755]

It turned out just right after a couple not cook enough.

Now I have it and made it for my sisters and they loved it too.

Thanks

[oldernwiser0]

im glad and feel encouraged you liked it .
