Discover the mouth-watering story behind Tamil Nadu's beloved Mysore Pak, a traditional sweet that has stood the test of time.

Legend has it that Mysore Pak was created in the royal kitchen of the Mysore Palace, hence the name.

This delectable treat is made with just three simple ingredients - gram flour, ghee, and sugar.

The key to its rich and melt-in-your-mouth texture lies in the perfect balance of these ingredients.

Mysore Pak was originally known as 'Mysore Paaka' and was a favorite among the royal family and their guests.

It was later introduced to the public by a royal cook named Kakasura Madappa, who opened a sweet shop in Mysore in the 19th century.

The popularity of Mysore Pak spread like wildfire, and it soon became a must-have at weddings, festivals, and other special occasions.

The traditional method of making Mysore Pak involves slow-cooking the gram flour and ghee mixture until it turns golden brown.

The mixture is then poured into a greased tray and cut into diamond-shaped pieces once it cools down.

Today, Mysore Pak is not just limited to Mysore but is enjoyed all over Tamil Nadu and other parts of India, making it a true symbol of the state's rich culinary heritage.
