Mysorepak (Kannada: ಮೈಸೂರು ಪಾಕ್ | literally, Mysore's confectionery) is a type of mithai (sweetmeat) from India. It is prepared with only three ingredients: ghee, sugar and besan. It originated in the royal kitchen of Kingdom of Mysore. Now Mysore is one of the major cities in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is prepared from generous amount of ghee along with sugar and gram flour more often flovoured with cardamom. The texture of this sweet is similar to both a fudge and a buttery dense cookie. It is also popular in the neighbouring countries Pakistan and Bangladesh (it is known as Monsur in Bangladesh).
