It is on the vah chef's website vahrevah dot com

after the vahrevah part put exactly Mysore+Pak:92

Youtube won't let me put anything that looks remotely like an URL in a comment, sorry I can't type it exactly for you.

Everyone looking for the entire recipe, it is:

2c ghee

1.5c Gram flour (besan)

2c sugar

0.5c water

@pathoplastic I have only heard of doing this for gulab jamun - I don't see how it could possibly work for mysore pak

@ravichitrahar It will only get brown in the middle as it sets up after you pour it out. You should look for a color change from yellow to a pale creamy color as you pour in the hot oil little by little, when all the besan mixture has changed to that lighter color, then pour it into a deep pan like a metal lasagna dish. Outside will stay the lighter color, interior will turn brown. DON'T USE GLASS/PYREX, it may heat shock and break.

@videowatcher20 Yes, it's turning from yellow to a pale creamy color. If you watch when he starts pouring the hot oil in little by little, you can see where the hot oil hits the besan mixture you are getting swirls of the lighter cream color in the yellow besan. When ALL the mixture has changed, then you pour it out.

@rkubarych yes you make ghee by melting butter and then slowly browning over low heat, then you strain out the cooked solids and retain the oil. The oil is the ghee.

@gubbacchi10 I guess I'll take my plebian "village" sensibilities and keep them in the village and away from your elitist nonsense. The "soft" mysore pak isn't mysore pak at all, it's a kind of burfi, LOL! People make that in the cities because it's easier and more convenient, not because it's better or more correct. That's like thinking evaporated milk is better than cream, or that "fudge" made from marshmallow topping is better than real fudge, LOL!

Vanaspati and oil is unhealthy. prefer to use ghee all the way
