mysore pak recipe | easy homemade mysore pak recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. an authentic recipe and perhaps a jewel in the crown of mysore is usually prepared during any festive occasion. this sweet dessert originated from mysore and hence the name. it is made from generous amount of ghee and sugar syrup which makes this recipe unique.

the history of mysore pak recipe is very interesting and it started in the royal kitchen of mysore palace. initially, the recipe was introduced by royal kitchen chef kakasura madappa when he was asked by the king to prepare a unique and different dessert. basically he prepared by fabrication of gram flour, sugar syrup and ghee and oil mixture. when presented to the this recipe to king, he liked it so much and he named it as mysore pak. pak or literally meaning ‘paka’ in kannada meaning to sweet syrup. even today mysore pak is prepared with the same technique and procedure in the royal kitchen of mysore.

even though the mysore pak recipe is prepared with just 4 ingredients, it has to be prepared with extreme care. firstly, sugar syrup consistency or one string consistency is very important for this recipe. otherwise, mysore pak would turn to mysore burfi recipe. secondly, do not hesitate to add hot ghee + oil mixture to the surface of besan mixture. you should see frothy layers when adding hot ghee and oil mixture. thirdly, use a tray full of mysore pak so that you get enough depth for red colour in the middle of mysore pak. lastly, it is that 30 seconds where besan mixture starts releasing the oil and does not absorb more oil. also the mixture turns completely frothy and pours. without any delay, transfer it to a deep tray and let it cook in it.

  1. hi what happened with me was while cooking and adding the ghee, it started to break into small pieces and the mixture was separating on its own…i was expecting the mixture to become sticky and remain as one ….but was surprised to see it is separating into powder…..i immediately transferred to the plate…the pieces have come out…but very soft….

  2. 4 stars
    Thank you for an amazing step by step pricedure. Mysore Pak came out really well following your method. Thanks a lot for the tips too.. I used to always mess up with one string consistency in the sugar syrup but after seeing your videos, kaju katli and Mysore Pak is a huge hit in my house !!
