Craving some Mysore Pak? Here’s where you can get the dessert in Delhi! By Anushka Goel
Milky, buttery, sweet, delicious – these are just some of the many words one can use to describe Mysore Pak, a popular sweet from Mysore, Karnataka. Made using ghee, besan (gram flour), sugar and occasionally, some cardamom, the mithai has the texture of a dense cookie that is biteable but melts in the mouth as soon as you eat it, releasing a gamut of flavours that are humble but at the same time, extremely complex.
Mysore Pak is often prepared for weddings and baby showers in Karnataka and has its origins during the reign of Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV, who was a foodie and maintained a large kitchen. It is said that one day, his chief chef Kakasura Madappa was running out of time but wanted to present the king with something unusual. So, combining besan, ghee and sugar, he made a soft pack and served it hot in the thali in the form of a fudge-like sweet. When asked the name, he came up with ‘Mysore Pak’, and that’s how the sweet originated.
The royal delicacy is widely available in Karnataka, and a few mainstream brands do ship it across the country and internationally so that everyone can get a bite of this delicacy. So, if you’re in Delhi and craving some Mysore Pak, we’ve rounded up some of the best places to state your soul.
