70 Years of Tradition: Making Butter Mysore Pak 🧈 & Classic Tiffin 🥞 at Indra Café Paras, Mysuru

Mysuru is a city constantly moving forward, yet its true soul lies in the culinary landmarks that refuse to rush. ⏳ In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, we step inside the legendary Indra Café Paras. Established in 1956, this fourth-generation institution has preserved a rich legacy of sweet-making and honest, old-fashioned tiffin. We go deep into their kitchen to witness the fascinating, meticulous process of making their famous Butter Mysore Pak. Watch how the master sweetmaker coaxes the sugar syrup to the perfect single-thread consistency, incorporating rich khova, gram flour, and an indulgent amount of butter to create a melt-in-the-mouth classic. 🧈✨ We then sit down to sample their timeless breakfast staples, including a sambar that is super addictive, an old fashioned Benne Masal Dosae - smeared with fiery kempu chutney, loaded with comforting aloogadde palya, finished with a generous splash of butter, and sprinkled with chutney pudi. We round off this beautiful culinary journey with a glistening plate of Kesari Bath. 🥞☕ Watch this episode for a taste of Old Mysuru.
