Mysore Pak, a jewel of Karnataka's culinary crown, boasts a rich history intertwined with the state's royal heritage and vibrant festivals. This melt-in-your-mouth sweet isn't just a delicious treat; it's an all-time favorite.

The exact origin of Mysore Pak remains a mystery. However, it dates back to the early 19th century within the opulent kitchens of the Mysore Palace. Imagine skilled chefs, the custodians of Mithaiana, meticulously following a recipe passed down through generations.

Picture this: glistening gram flour (Bengal gram) roasted to a perfect golden brown, simmering in clarified butter (ghee) for hours, its aroma filling the royal kitchens. Sugar is then added, and the mixture is stirred with unwavering dedication until it reaches a thick, fudge-like consistency. This masterpiece, named after the majestic city of Mysore, quickly became a favorite indulgence for the Wodeyar dynasty.

Mysore Pak's fame couldn't be contained within the palace walls. Word of this delectable creation spread like wildfire, captivating the hearts (and taste buds) of people throughout Karnataka. Soon, it became a prized sweet not just for royalty but for all.

The legacy of Mysore Pak transcended its royal origins, finding cherished place in Mithaiana. Families incorporated this gem into their special occasions and festivals, particularly Ugadi, the Kannada New Year, Makar Shankranti, Diwali.
