This yum-sum Mysore pak melts in the mouth and feels heavenly in the heart. It is one of those oldest traditional sweets which was originated in the age of kings and queens. Mysore pak is also known as Royal sweet in India. It is made using gram flour, sugar, ghee and water.
Mysore pak got its name due to its origin. The king of Mysore, Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV had maintained a large kitchen in his Amba Vilas palace as he was a foodie. His chef Kakasura Madappa prepared a sweet just to experiment with pure ghee, gram flour and sugar. He made a thick paka, paka in Kannada means sweet concoction. The king was delighted by this heavenly tasting sweet and asked his chef for the name of the recipe. As it was prepared in the palace of Mysore, he named it as Mysore pak. Then the king insisted Madappa to put up a shop outside the palace so that the common people taste the amazing Royal sweet.
