mysore pak: Mysore Pak takes the world by sweet storm
There is a captivating history attached to Mysore Pak. Around 90 years ago, Kakasura Madappa was the chief chef at the Mysore royal palace. During one of King Krishnaraja Wadiyar’s dinners, he noticed the absence of a sweet dish on the King’s plate. Madappa promptly decided to prepare a sweet dish to satisfy the King’s demand. He quickly made a sweet using sugar, ghee, and gram flour. The dish received instant appreciation from the King. As it lacked a name, the King decided to call it Mysore Pak since it originated in Mysore.
