Notes

NOTES-
1- Grind raw almonds,no need to soak or peel them.
2- The mixture should be stirred continuously in one direction
3- For a soft and porous mysore paak you need little patience and practice.
4-You can also make mysore pak with pistachio,cashew or a mixture of almond,cashew and pistachio.
5-The tricky part is to check the point of doneness(when to remove the mysore pak from the pan and spread in the plate) as undercooked mixture will result in a flat mysore paak and If overcooked the mysore paak become hard.But after 1-2 trail and errors you become an expert in making mysore pak.
