How To Make Badam Mysore Paak
The making of mysore paak is easy but little tricky,you need to have some practice and patience for making this,else the method is very simple. first of all you have to measure all the ingredients and add in a heavy bottom broad and deep pan. Then cook it on medium heat and keep stirring in one direction only for about 20-25 minutes.
When the ghee start oozing out from the sides and the mixture become quite light and frothy then it is done. You have to very precise about the timing else the mysore paak will not set properly and become flat.
If you have done it properly then you will get these beautiful little holes / jali texture in the ready paak. These little holes /jaali means you have done the Mysore paak perfectly and this will come after some practice and few trails.
As I already mention that the recipe is quite simple , You just have to collect all the ingredients in the pan and keep stirring in one direction till it is done.
The tricky part is to check the point to set (when to remove the mysore pak from the pan and spread in the plate) as under cooked mixture will result in a flat badam paak and If overcooked the paak become hard.But after 1-2 trail and errors you become an expert in making badam paak.
But in any case you are not going to ruin your sweet . you may not get these little hole type texture but still the almond paak will set surely and it will taste good.
