This is the first time I tried it. Though not upto my expectations the taste was not bad. I thought of sending in the Chakra pongal entry for the Event JFS:Diwali hosted by Past Present and Me . This event JFI was originally started by Indira
But this weekend when I called my Sister back home, she gave me the recipe for a sweet made with maida(all purpose flour) which she just viewed in a TV show. Quickly her MIL joined and narratted the Mysore pak recipe. Thats it, I told my Sis, to check up my blog in a few days for my version of Mysore pak and here it is.
Ingredients :
2 cups Gram Flour (Besan)
1-1/2 to 2 cups sugar
1 cup ghee ( increase if desired)
To garnish:
2 spoons chopped cashew peices fried in ghee.
Procedure:
Boil sugar with a little water to make the sugar syrup with the string like consistency.
Add the Channa dhall flour(Bengal Gram flour) little by little to this syrup continually mixing without allowing any lumps to be formed.
Once all the flour is added, add the ghee slowly in small amounts and continue mixing thoroughly till all the ghee is added gets into every molecule of the this channa flour mixed in sugar syrup.
Once the mixture leaves the container, and big wholes appear on the surface of this sweet mixture, remove from heat.
Now pour this mixture into a greased tray and flatten it evenly.
Sprinkle some crushed cashew peices if desired.
Let the mixture set for a few minutes and cut into into desired shapes and arrange for serving.

Hi Reena:)
Such lovely photos, and that blue feather looks so pretty..you have really good looking blog here:) About the onelette recipe, mymom also beats egg like your Grandmother:) , I try to do it her way, the lather doesnt come :)) ....planning to prepare the shrimp dish, but instead of shrimp, can I substitute something else ? My husband is allergic to shell fishes, but i love shrimp, so have to sacrifice when i prepare that at home:) ....Your dish just makes my mouth water, just feel like having the whole thing on the screen:)
Sri it doesn't take much time at all only practice till you get them soft and buttery. So worth a try.
rv than for long note. I know many people are allergic towards shrimp. I don't think any other seafood will go good with this recipe but yes, with Eggs you can follow this. Thanks for being here.
