Mysore pak was in my to do list since ages . It is the famous sweet dish of Karnataka , India and usually served as dessert. It is made of generous amounts of clarified butter , sugar and gram flour.
When I saw this SNC Event (South Vs North Challenge ) one year celebration event I can’t stop myself to try my hand on it. SNC is a challenge for group of bloggers from South and Northern part of India , who challenged each other with their regional recipes. It is more like the South will challenge the North team with an authentic south Indian recipe and the North team will challenge the south team with an authentic North Indian recipe and both team will have to post the recipe on a fixed date. Quite interesting isn’t it !!

This group has completed one year and celebrating the same by this SNC celebration Event. I thought to prepare Mysore Pak from Southern team as I am a North Indian so took it as a challenge as well.
