Preparation Steps
Rice flour:
- Soak one cup of raw rice in water for about one to one and half hours and let it dry for a few minutes.
- Do not let it dry out completely and it shouldn't be too wet either. While the moisture is still present, grind it into fine powder.
- Sieve this flour and keep it aside.
For preparing the dough for Adhirasam:
- Take a pan, add jaggery and water. Melt it at low to medium flame.
- Once the jaggery has melted into syrup transfer it to another fresh pan using a filter.
- Now let the jaggery thicken.
- To check the right consistency, take a small plate with water, drop a few drops of jaggery and try rolling it into a ball.
- If it is thick enough to roll then the consistency is perfect. Turn off the flame.
- Add the prepared rice flour to this gently, little by little and keep stirring.
- Add cardamom powder and dry ginger powder.
- Mix them well until the jaggery has absorbed the rice flour and it has become a loose dough.
- Once done you can let cool down to room temperature and transfer it to an airtight container.
- It is preferable to fry this dough into adhirasam on the next day to get a soft and perfect texture.
- You can store this dough at room temperature for 2-3 days too.

Mysore Pak Recipe Preparation Steps
Mysore Pak is a traditional South Indian sweet that has captured the hearts of many with its rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. To master the Mysore Pak recipe preparation steps, it’s essential to gather the right ingredients, which include gram flour (besan), ghee (clarified butter), sugar, and water. First, prepare a sugar syrup by boiling water and sugar until it reaches a single-thread consistency. In a separate pan, roast the gram flour until it emits a nutty aroma, making sure to avoid burning it. Once the flour is roasted, slowly add ghee to the mixture while continuously stirring. This step is crucial as it helps in achieving the perfect consistency of the sweet. Afterward, combine the sugar syrup with the gram flour and ghee mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once the mixture solidifies and begins to leave the sides of the pan, transfer it to a greased plate to cool.
Following the Mysore Pak recipe preparation steps will elevate your dessert-making skills and allow you to enjoy this delectable treat right at home. Allow the sweet to cool completely before cutting it into desired shapes, typically squares or diamonds. You might also consider adding a sprinkle of cardamom or nuts for added flavor and visual appeal. Mysore Pak is not just a delicacy for special occasions but a delightful treat for family gatherings or an everyday indulgence. With these simple steps, you can create an authentic Mysore Pak that is sure to impress your loved ones and satisfy your sweet tooth. So why wait?
