Water
50 Milliliter
Besan
100 Grams
Baking soda
1 Grams

Instructions

1
Roast the gram flour
. Add 1 cup of ghee to a pan and heat it over medium flame. Once the ghee is sufficiently hot, add gram flour to it and roast it for a few minutes. Make sure that you roast the gram flour properly so that the raw smell goes away.
2
Prepare the sugar syrup
In another pan, boil the sugar with water till it reaches one string consistency. When the sugar syrup is prepared, add the fried gram flour in it and stir well till it thickens. Heat the remaining ghee and gently add the gram flour mixture. Keep stirring continuously so that no lumps are formed. When the ghee starts to rise up from the sides and begins to separate, add the cooking soda.
3
Spread the gram flour batter and cool for shaping it
Stir and pour into a greased plate. Gently spread the mixture and allow it to cool. Before it hardens fully, slices into desired shapes. Store in an airtight container and serve.

Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At 138.2 kcal per serving, this can fit into a weight loss diet with mindful portion control. Pair with a fiber-rich salad to improve satiety.

Diabetes

Higher glycemic index (GI: 77) means this can cause blood sugar spikes. The refined carbohydrates contribute to rapid glucose absorption. Diabetics should consume smaller portions and always pair with protein and fiber to slow digestion.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (1.5g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.

Heart Health

Low cholesterol (17mg) and low saturated fat (4.2g) make this heart-friendly. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.

PCOS

Moderate-to-high GI (77) can spike insulin — Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response. Consider replacing refined ingredients with whole grains or millets.

Thyroid

No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions.

Portion Guidance

Weight Loss

1 Small Piece (~30.1g). A light, kcal-friendly portion. Pair with roti or salad for a complete meal under 300 kcal.

1 Small Piece (~30.1g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.

Diabetes

Recipe Modifications

Boost protein

Add 50g paneer, a boiled egg, or a side of sprouted moong dal. Stirring in 1 tbsp of peanut butter also adds 4g protein.

Lower glycemic load

Replace refined flour (maida) with whole wheat atta, or swap white rice with brown rice or millets like jowar/bajra.

Make diabetes-friendly

Replace potato with cauliflower or bottle gourd. Add a squeeze of lemon — the acidity lowers glycemic response.

Meal prep friendly

Maisur Pak stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.

Common Mistakes

Using too much oil or ghee

Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.

Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.

Not measuring serving size

Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (276.4-414.5 kcal).

Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.

Pairing with another high-GI food

Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.

Fix: Choose one carb source per meal. Pair with roti instead of rice, or add a protein-rich side.
