Tips and Suggestions by the Mom Chef:-

• Do not use a non-stick pan to make this sweet. Use only heavy bottomed aluminium or iron pan.
• There are two versions of Mysore Pak – soft and hard. If you want the soft version then stop cooking the mixture after it leaves the pan and about to bubble.
• For the hard version, you have to cook it a little longer. When the mixture leaves the pan and it starts bubbling. Cook it for a minute or two. Then pour the mixture in the greased mould.
• Cut into pieces when the mixture is warm. Because after cooling it crumbled and you don’t get perfect pieces.
