Rosogolla

라스굴라

Syrupy dessert popular in the Indian subcontinent and regions with South Asian diaspora

About this dish

Rasgulla (literally "syrup-filled ball") is a syrupy dessert popular in the eastern part of India & South Asia. It is made from ball-shaped dumplings of chhena dough cooked in light sugar syrup until the syrup permeates the dumplings. While it is nearly universally agreed that the dessert originated in the eastern Indian subcontinent, the exact locus of origin is disputed between locations such as West Bengal and Odisha, where it is offered at the Puri Jagannath Temple. In 2017, when West Bengal received its rosogolla's geographical indication (GI) status, the Registry Office of India clarified that West Bengal was given GI status for Banglar rosogolla, and Odisha could claim it too if it cited the place of origin of its variant along with colour, texture, taste, juice content, and method of manufacture.
