is made of generous amounts of ghee (clarified butter), sugar and gram flour.
Legend is that Mysore pak
was first created in the kitchens of the Mysore
Palace by a palace cook named
Kakasura Madappa out of the above ingredients. The cook at the Mysore Palace
kitchen simply made a concoction of besan, ghee and sugar. The sweet that was
formed delighted the royalties so much that it became a “Royal Sweet”.
When asked its name, Madappa obviously didn’t have its name, so he simply
called it the ‘Mysore pak’, a delicacy from the Mysore Palace. The king
relished the sweet so much that he got Madappa to set up shop outside the
palace grounds so that it could be made available to common people.
