The Story of Bengaluru’s Most Iconic Ghee Mysore Pak : Sri Venkateshwara Sweet Meat Stall

For generations, a visit to Sri Venkateshwara Sweets has meant taking home a box of warm, ghee-rich Mysore Pak. For many Bangaloreans, it's more than a sweet, it's a family tradition. In this film, we meet the family behind one of Bangalore's most iconic sweet shops and trace the journey of their legendary Ghee Mysore Pak. From its beginnings in Chikkaballapura to the opening of their first shop in Bangalore, they share the story of how a simple recipe made with gram flour, ghee, and sugar became a part of the city's collective memory. Along the way, they take us through the craft of making Mysore Pak, explain why it should never be chewed, and reflect on the generations of customers who still walk into the shop saying, "My grandfather used to bring me here." This is a story about tradition, craftsmanship, and the recipes that outlive the people who create them.
