How do I make a soft Mysore Pak instead of a crispy one? 🍬
Use more ghee and cook for a shorter time to get a softer texture.

Why is my Mysore Pak not set properly? 😟
The mixture may still be too runny. Cook it longer until it thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.

How do I know if the sugar syrup is ready? 🍯✔️

Ghee is essential for the traditional Mysore Pak texture, but you can use butter or oil for a different version.
