Guru Sweet Mart

Guru Sweet Mart
Mysuru, India (IN)
The 19th-century king of South India’s Mysore Kingdom, was bored, had a serious sweet tooth, and was tired of the creations of the royal kitchen. He told his cook, Kakasura Madappa, to create something new. In response to the directive, Madappa created a fudge-like dessert called Mysore pak. More than a century later, Madappa’s descendants continue to sell the sweet from their Mysore-based shop, Guru Sweet Mart.
