Talk:Banglar Rasogolla

The Syrupy Sweets in a nutshell. - Banglar Rasogolla, a fact.

 * Khiramohana or, Kheer Mohan is a creamish sweet popular & invented in Odisha since the Jagannath Temple, Puri came into existence. The sweet, offered to the goddess Lakshmi during the Rath Yatra of the temple. Now, the sweet is though made of chhena and cooked in sugar syrup but there is no concrete evidence that chhena, which we know today, existed at the time of the sweet's invention. It is very unlikely of its existence then.


 * Pahala Rasgulla, the descendant and an alternative name of Khiramohana, is a yellowish brown, crumbly, syrupy sweet popular & available only in Pahala region of Odisha.


 * Banglar Rasogolla is a light spongy white ball of chhana stewed in sugar syrup (rasa). The form of Rosogolla that we know today is different from Khiramohana of Odisha in various aspects. Evidenly, Nobin Chandra Das of Kolkata, West Bengal, discovered the sweet. Its alternative names are Rossogolla, Rasagolla & Roshogolla, and its variations are Kamala Bhog, Raj Bhog, Roso Malai etc. The name of the sweet is anglicize to Rasgulla, after many non-Bengali speaking Indians started calling it by this name.


 * NB 'Kheer' in Kheer Mohan, suggests a condensed milk pudding, is not chhena.
