Mesub Recipes

MESUB

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in a wok.
• Mix well.
• Switch on the gas.
• Start rotating the mixture in a clockwise direction with the help of a'tavetha'.
• Rotate the mixture continuously in the same direction.
• After 5 minutes, the ghee will start binding the mixture.
• In another 4-5 minutes, you will see globules of ghee on the edges.
• Also, you will see the colour of the mixture turn to a light yellow.
• Keep the flame on medium heat.
• The mixture will start getting fluffy and bind together.
• In the meantime,grease a moulding plate with a tsp.
• or two of ghee.
• Empty the contents of the wok on to the greased plate.
• Sprinkle few drops of water on it.
• Now the Mesub is ready and starts getting crystallised at the surface.
• Sprinkle cardamom powder (to taste) on it.
• Cut into diamond shaped pieces.
• It is now ready to eat.
• Store in an airtight container and use within one week.
• I like to store mine refrigerated.
• Cooking tip: For soft mesub, rotate the mixture in the same direction.
