BESAN CHAKKI can be called a Mysore Pak from north India. Because it is also made from BESAN or Gram flour. Nowadays Mysore Pak is also made very soft and mouth-melting as chakki is made.

This time I am going to make a north Indian SPECIAL SWEET usually made during DEEPAWALI

FESTIVAL.

Let us see what all ingredients WE NEED FOR BESAN CHAKKI

Table of Contents

Besan(gram flour)- 1 cup (150 grams)
Sugar-(granular)-1 cup (220 grams)
Ghee-3/4 cup+1 teaspoon (melted)
khoya(mawa)-100 grams( grated)
Almonds-10 -12 numbers( chopped coarsely)
Pistachio-10-12 numbers (chopped coarsely)
Cardamom powder-1 teaspoon (powder)
Water-1/2+1 tablespoon(for syrup)
Water-1-2 tablespoon (to sprinkle on Besan mixture)

METHOD OF MAKING BESAN CHAKKI

Take a heavy bottom fry pan
Heat it. Add 3/4 cup ghee to it and let it melt.
Reduce the flame and put BESAN into the pan.
Keep on stirring it so that there are no lumps and also besan gets evenly roasted.

Continue the process till the besan gets a nice aroma and color. (not too dark )

Now sprinkle some water in the besan mixture when still on flame you will see too many foam farms.
This process makes the Besan granular (WILL NOT BE VERY STICKY WHILE EATING) Repeat once more.

Shift to another plate. (THICK POURING CONSISTENCY )Let it cool.
In another pan make Sugar syrup by adding 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon water.
let it boil for 3-4 Mts. You should get 2-string consistency. (when you test between fingers it should be sticky forming 2 strands )
Add 100 grams of unsweetened grated khoya (mawa) to the syrup. and cook mixing nicely. (for 2 mts on low heat)
