Mysorepak

Maysore-Pak

Mysore Pak is Sweet Fudge made with Chickpea flour, Clarified butter and Sugar. This sweet is usually very popular in most South Indian homes.

Deepavali (Festival of lights ) is an important festival for  Hindus in India. This year Deepavali is on 26th of October '11. I'v started my preparation of Deepavali Sweet with Mysore Pak.
