Rasgulla is a popular Indian sweet made from chhena, which is fresh cheese obtained by curdling milk. The cheese is kneaded into small balls and then cooked in a light sugar syrup, resulting in a soft and spongy texture. This dessert is especially famous in the states of West Bengal and Odisha.
The origins of Rasgulla are often debated, with both Bengal and Odisha claiming to be its birthplace. It is typically served chilled and is enjoyed during festivals and special occasions. Rasgulla is not only loved for its taste but also for its cultural significance in Indian cuisine.
