4. Then add roasted gram flour and mix it well. Then slowly add ghee, while stirring constantly.

5. When the ghee separates on the side of the pan, it is ready to be poured into a tray, and leave it to cool in the refrigerator. When the Mysore Pak has solidified, using a sharp knife, cut into desired shape and size.
