Karnataka sweet of gram flour cooked with sugar syrup and hot ghee, then set and cut.
About Mysore pak
Mysore Pak is a traditional South Indian sweet from Mysuru in Karnataka. This profile follows Dassana Amit's ghee-rich version using the established core of gram flour, sugar and ghee.
Gram flour supplies a toasted, nutty flavour, while sugar brings direct sweetness and ghee gives a deep buttery richness. The deliberately short ingredient list keeps those flavours prominent.
The cooked mixture sets into golden square or rectangular pieces with tiny bubbles through the interior. This version is rich and slightly crumbly, becoming soft and melting as it is eaten.
