Mysore Pauk's Cousin

What shall I name it..Mysore Barfi?!

This morning I dreamt of making Mysore Pak and it turned out awesome (ofcourse in my dream). With that confidence and enthusiasm I tried this for real. Oh boy! sometimes dreams and reality are total strangers like Truth and Casey Anthony. I wish the truth is out in that disturbing case. Let me get back to our topic.

Whenever I think of Mysore Pak, I always turn down the mere idea of making it at home. But Today with all that dream and what not, I just started to make this with full confidence.The recipe I had was great and everything went as planned but just that I didnt have a good hand in hand co-ordination while I had to add the hot oil and stir simultaneously. So, Let me confess. This is 'supposed to be' Mysore Pauk. But I ended up with its 'yet to be recognized cousin Mysore Barfi'- something tasting like Mysore pauk (well closely) but texture wise reminding a barfi.. A bit too brittle. Karthik's verdict: "Not Good".

I just wanted to share my 1st attempt to make a Mysore pauk with you my folks. ;-) That said, I will attempt again in the near future to conquer this master dish. I think I know where I went wrong with the procedure.. I shall post the recipe when I qualify to do so - ie make the mysore pauk the way it should look and taste atleast once. ;)
