Traditional Mysore Pak - A Crunchy Confection
It is believed that the traditional Mysore Pak story dated back centuries ago. It was first discovered by late chef Kakasura Madappa, working in the Mysuru kingdom centuries ago. Kakasura Madappa was the Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV's head chef and was renowned for preparing exquisite sweets. When Kakasura Madappa was preparing sweets for the royal family, he tried his hands at preparing a new dish with gram flour, sugar syrup, ghee, and cardamom powder. The sweet prepared by Kakasura Madappa was unnamed. The Royal Sweet “Mysore Pak” was named by Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV. Mysore Pak's history, like anything else, began with an accidental discovery. The king was so enamoured with the sweet that he instructed Madappa to create a sweet store outside the palace grounds so that all people could taste it.
