Mysore Pak

By -

Mysore Pak is an Indian sweet. It originated in Karnataka and was invented in 1935. The Maharaja of Mysore Krishnaraja Wodeyar had a sweet tooth. One day when Maharaja ,was ready to have his lunch, his meal was ready but chef Kakasura Madappa had not prepared any dessert. Chef was running out of time. In desperation, chef began experimenting with gram flour, ghee and sugar, he made a soft pak. The Maharaja liked it so much and asked for it's name. Madappa said "Mysore Pak", because nothing else came to his mind.

It is the testimony to the chef that Mysore Pak is still so popular.
