Wishing u all a very happy Raksha Bandhan. On this Rakhi festival day, I am here with an easy, peasy
3 minutes microwave sweet recipe, Mysore pak.
Thanks a ton Aarthi
( yummytummy) for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. I tried Mysore pak for the first time in my life and it was a huge hit among my family and friends. My family members are not a big fan of mysorepak. So I never got an idea to try this sweet recipe by seeing the time consuming procedure and the gallons of ghee. But I know my Sister is a die hard fan of mysore pak especially from Sri Krishna sweets and Salem Lakshmi sweets. She loves the soft, melt in mouth texture and she never minds about emptying one full box of it in one day. So just for her sake, I wanted to try Mysore pak recipe for this year’s Diwali.
When I saw this super easy, Instant microwave mysore pak recipe & that too in less than 5 minutes, I got tempted like anything and bookmarked it immediately. In this method, you don’t have to worry about sugar syrup consistency,no stirring job, less ghee comparitively & moreover it gets ready in 5 minutes. Its really a great sweet for beginners to try.
In Facebook’s Bombatt bhojana group, few people had tried the same and shared their pictures too. This gave me double assurance for this recipe to try. So what else, I tried this yummy mysore pak recipe for 3 times since yesterday & passed some of them to my friends too.They all loved it very much, took the recipe, tried it immediately & shared their pictures with me. I was so happy because this is the first recipe which became a super hit even before I blog it here.
I have shared all the possible tips in “Note” section. This mysore pak won’t come out so porous and not so soft like SKC’s mysore pak. Its texture would be in the middle. But this recipe really makes wonders in less than 5 minutes I should say!. Try this, you will come to know. I was very much satisfied with my first attempt. I will try to share the stove top authentic mysore pak recipe for this Diwali.
Friends, do prepare this easy, yummy mysore pak recipe for Raksha bandhan celebration & treat your brothers. Lets see how to make this mysorepak at home using microwave instantly !!
Easy microwave mysore pak recipe
Easy,instant mysore pak recipe using microwave in less than 5 minutes
Cuisine: Indian
Category: Sweet
Serves: 6-8nos
Prep time: 5 Minutes
Cook time: 3 Minutes
Total time: 8 Minutes
1 cup – 250ml
- Besan flour – 1/2 cup
- Powdered sugar or icing sugar – 1 cup
- Melted ghee – 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp
- Boiled & cooled milk – 2 tsp ( at room temp,not hot)
|
METHOD
- Powder 1/2 cup of crystal sugar to a fine powder. U will get around 1 cup.Set aside. Melt ghee & measure it. Set aside.Keep a plate ready greased with ghee.( I used my aluminium burfi plate which i bought from Salem) . In a wide bowl, sieve the gram flour. Keep aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl (preferably glass bowl), take 1 tbsp of melted ghee & add the sieved gram flour. Mix well and keep it in microwave high power ( mine is 800w) for 1 minute. It will get roasted well.
- Now remove the roasted gram flour in a bowl and set aside. In the same microwave bowl, take 1/2cup of melted ghee, add the powdered sugar or icing sugar & 2 tsp of milk. Mix well.
- To this, add the roasted gram flour without any lumps( this is more important to get a soft, non-crumbly mysore pak).
- Mix well and microwave in high power for 1 minute. U can see the ghee completely melted and floating on top. Remove and stir it well.
- Again microwave for 1 minute in high power. Take it out, you can see foamy texture with bubbles in it. If its not foamy, mix well & keep it again for 20 seconds. ( You can increase the timing to 30 seconds based on the texture)
- After 20 seconds, remove & just pour it in the greased plate, press it very well with the back of spatula and smoothen it. The mixture will be slightly crumbly. Don’t worry.
- Leave it aside for 10-15 minutes. Once it becomes warm, draw shapes. Remove once its cooled down completely.
Serve n enjoy it ! Tastes yummy.Initially you may feel it little hard but as the time proceeds, it will become soft. It tastes best the next day. But everything will be vanished within NO time!!
|
Note
- Cooking time depends on the heat & power of microwave. But don’t worry, even if you keep it for 30secs extra by mistake, it comes out well. But at any cost, do not keep it more than 2 mins 30 seconds excluding roasting time.
- I used melted ghee in this recipe. If you use frozen ghee, take the required ghee & melt in microwave for 1 minute each time and then use. Do not use frozen ghee as it is. It won’t work.
- Don’t worry if the mixture becomes crumbly because of over cooking. Just spread the mixture in greased plate and press it very well with a spatula or with your hands covering the mixture with sheet.Careful,it would be very hot. It will set when it turns warm. Tastes good too. Second time, I over cooked it slightly & color became dark but still the taste was great.
- Make sure there are no lumps in besan flour before & after roasting because lumps results in uneven cooking and crumbly mysore pak. So better break it well with your hands or sieve it well.
- As I said, it tastes the best as time proceeds. So reserve few pieces to check its actual taste the next day.
- U can also use icing sugar instead of powdered sugar.
- If using crystal sugar,powder 1/2 cup of it. U will get little less than 1 cup. But that’s enough for this sweet.

Hi Chitra,
Thanks for your recipe! I read this recipe in the FB CAL group and was tempted to try it – I love Mysore Pak but never attempted to make it – wary of attempting anything that is supposed to set since it requires expertise to get the right setting consistency! However this appeared to be an easy one to give it a go – hence I did 🙂 It wasn't as good as yours – a little crumbly, though I did mange to cut pieces but overall better that I had expected from myself ! Thanks for explaining it so well!
Thanks a lot Seema for taking time to share your experience & feedback 🙂 Actually the consistency of this mysore pak is unpredictable.U may get it really soft or crumbly sometimes based on the quantity of ghee & time we keep.It varies for each microwave.It also depends on Sugar quantity.Even i had got mixed results but the final outcome would be tasty :).Thanks for trying and feedback 🙂
Thanks a lot for sharing very TASTY & delicious recipe. The taste is similar to what we called in GUJARAT "MAGAS". In swaminarayan temples the distribute it as PRASAD. Thanks again from my kids.
Thanks a lot for trying and the feedback.U made my day !
Hai chitra can i do it in gas the same process. cani do it please tell me the suggestion.
Hi i think u can try. But i have not tried it so far.
Hi i think u can try. But i have not tried it so far.
Mine came like halwa even after it has coolen down. Its not hard . What could be the reason 🙁
May be quantity of ghee would be more.U can try heating it for a minute more in MW,Hope it will turn out well.
Hi
The same happened to mine. Do you measure the ghee when solid?
Next time I will try with a little less ghee
No, melt the ghee and measure at room temperature. U will get it right 🙂
My daughter luves mysore pak but i couldn't think of making it at home..Thank u sooo much for your easy recipe 🙂

Thanks for trying and feedback 🙂
Oh thanks a lot chitraji!!! I tried dis it comes very nice n yemmy…namaste
Thank you so much, happy to know it 🙂
Hi!
Tried this today and it got burnt 🙁 .. I followed the exact measurements and steps. What did I do wrong? My microwave is 900w.
I guess its due to the timing. As mine is 800w, it took 2.5 minutes. Yours might have needed lesser time, may be 30sec less.Did you stir it every 30 secs as mentioned? Please let me know how much time did you keep ? Thanks
Hi,
I had too much of flowing ghee in d end with all measurements as in the recipe. what could be the reason?
Just cook for one to 11/2 minute more. It comes out well.
I got mysorepaaghu overcooked. It's in powder form. What to do now.
Grind in a mixie to fine powder. Add little milk and make a paste. Again cook for lesser time than you kept previously.
Hi akka, i tried this yesterday.. i slightly tweaked the recipe.. so it became super flop.. i didnt powder the sugar. So even after 5 mins, it didnt melt. Then i ground the whole mixture and kept it again for around 5 mins, it was free flowing with so much of ghee oozing out.. i thought it would set and left it overnight.. in the morning it was still free flowing with so much of ghee.. i drained excess ghee and kept for another 5 mins.. still not set:(.. what do i do with the mixture.. highest power in my microwave is 700 watts.
Hi just grind the entire mixture with some milk and cook in medium flame in a kadai. Do not microwave now. Mixture will become thick as you mix. No need to add ghee. After the mixture starts to leave the sifrs of Kadai, switch off and transfer to a plate. Cool down and make pieces. Hope it will come out well. Please update the result after you try this way.
U saved me ka.. it came out well.. next time will follow ur exact method and let u know.. ur recipes have never failed me 🙂
Thank you so much for updating the results. Happy to know that 🙂
Hi chitra Can I use Bura sugar for this Mysore Pak recipe..if yes what is the ratio..
If bura sugar is a fine powder, you can use.Else powder it in a mixie and use it. Add the same quantity mentioned above. Hope it works.
Hi . Tried the recipe..Came out very good…can we do Same recipe on gas? Because I don't prefer using microwave oven
Yes you can try it but do every th in low flame. There are chances of burning
Thank you so much for your feedback 😊
Hi chitra..
Tried today.mine got crumbled not forming piece.. like a poondhi.. and sugar also not melted. I kept for 3mins 30seconds. Taste is ok. What could be the reason?
Pls tel me.
Hi, did you use powdered sugar? Also you can try 30 seconds to one minute less next time as cooking time varies as per the power of microwave.
Hi.. Will this recipe work for OTG? Am new to baking and stuff, so checking!
Hi, it will take more time. Sorry I am not sure about the output and timings.
Thanks for the reply! Will update if I try.
Sure Thanks
