Story/History of recipe
Mysore Pak is originally a quick concoction dessert made in the early 20th century by the royal cook of Mysore Palace. Pak in Kannada means fudge - like texture. The same recipe is prepared with palm sugar instead of table sugar known as Karupatti Mysore Pak. It is a Tirunelveli special sweet that is quite popular all over Tamil Nadu. Owing to the lower glycemic index of palm sugar compared to other sweeteners like sugar and honey, this sweet can be consumed by people with diabetes.
