Mysore Pak

Bason (Chana dal)- 1 cup
Ghee-1/2cup
Butter- 1/4 qt
Sugar-2 cups
Water- 1/2 cup
Baking Soda- a pinch

Prep:
Take a pan and fry Bason in 1/2 tbs ghee until the raw smell goes away. Make sure there are no lumps. Set it away.
Take another pan and add sugar and water with a tsp ghee and stir until one string consistency (pour a drop into a small water bowl to test this. When the string clearly stays at the bottom, it's ready).
Mix the sugar syrup to the fried Bason and stir quickly and thoroughly so that there are no lumps formed.
Stir the mix continuously on medium flame by adding lightly melted butter to it for every 5 min.
When the mix looks like it's separated from the pan add a pinch of baking soda and stir for a minute. Pour it into a pre-ghee coated flat bowl/plate and set it straight with a spoon. Within a minute it will be ready to cut into pieces as shown below.
A smooth and tasty Mysore Pak ready!
