The royal Mysore sweet — gram flour cooked in lavish ghee and sugar to a melt-in-the-mouth, porous fudge.
The Story Behind This Recipe
During Dasara in Mysuru, every house smells of besan and ghee. This recipe came to us from a halwai neighbour who had spent decades perfecting it for the Mysore Palace kitchen. The trick is adding ghee at just the right moment — when the mixture starts to foam and pull away from the sides.

-
2
Whisk in besan steadily to avoid lumps.
-
