Ghee Mysore Pak | A Diwali Recipe
4:55 PM
Ghee mysore pak is an easy and delicious sweet that could be made in no time. As the name suggests it is made with ghee, lots of ghee to be very specific, which gives this sweet a soft and creamy texture which literally melts-in your mouth.
When i was little, during diwlai days we used to get the mysore paks which are hard ones with a crunchy texture and i have always disliked them. There was a certain period when krishna sweets become talk of the town and everyone raved about their sweets and savories, especially the mysore pak. When i tasted their mysore pak for the first time, the soft texture with ghee oozing out made me fell in love with it instantly.
Recently i came to know that making a mysore pak closer to the one we get in krishna sweets was very easy and the secret ingredient was the ghee. I have made this several times now, and it always turns out perfect everytime.
Try this easy and delicious sweet for diwali and surprise your loved ones!
