Mysore pak

Description

Mysore Pak is a rich, melt-in-the-mouth Indian sweet that originated in Mysore, Karnataka. It is made primarily from gram flour (besan), ghee, and sugar. Known for its smooth, crumbly texture and rich flavor, Mysore Pak is often served during festivals like Diwali, Ugadi, and special occasions such as weddings and family gatherings. The secret to its deliciousness lies in the perfect balance of ghee and the technique used to prepare it.

Key Ingredients:

Gram Flour (Besan): The main ingredient that forms the base of the sweet. It is roasted to give a nutty flavor.

Ghee (Clarified Butter): Ghee is the heart of Mysore Pak, giving it richness and flavor. You’ll need a generous amount of ghee for the authentic texture.

Sugar: The sweetener for the dessert, usually white sugar or sometimes jaggery.

Water: Used to dissolve the sugar and make the syrup.

Cardamom Powder (optional): For a hint of flavor, though this is optional in some recipes.

A pinch of Baking Soda (optional): Some recipes add a pinch of baking soda to make the Mysore Pak light and airy.
