The most exciting festival “Deepavali” is round the corner and I have just started with the first round of sweets and snacks for it. From childhood, Deepavali is the most awaited festival as we get to meet friends and relatives and have fun. Mysore pak is a must have sweet on this festival for me. I still remember the the sweets and snacks that my grand mother used to make for all of us.
This Mysorepak is so delicious and melts in mouth in no time. I have melted butter to make ghee and use it for the recipe.
