South Indian Sweets Mysore Pak: In India, every occasion is marked with sweets. Whether someone passes their board exams or buys a new car, the celebration is incomplete without a box of mithai . That’s why our cuisine features so many innovative desserts.
While the North has its unique variety of sweet treats, the South boasts of its special assortment of mithai. One of the most famous sweets from the South is Mysore Pak. Made with gram flour and lots of ghee, this dessert is a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy. Recently, a food vlogger (@foodie_incarnate) shared the process of making this sweet on Instagram. The video was filmed at a shop in Karnataka and has since gone viral, amassing over 8 million views.
The clip shows cooks adding gram flour and ghee into a churning machine. As the machine continues to mix, they gradually incorporate more . Sugar is then added to the batter, followed by additional ghee. Once the mixture thickens to a bouncy and shiny texture, it is transferred onto food trays and flattened using a rolling pin. After allowing it to set, the cook cuts the sweet into smaller pieces to be packed and sold.
