Biasness in this article
I can see there are many biasness in the article. The origin has been decided by one reference from a book. The creator name has also mentioned with the reference of that book. Oxford dictionary says Indian dish. And the "Rasmalai" word seems more authentic that rasa+malai in other languages (Hindi, Odia) tha Rosh+malai. Can someone help improve this article by adding more citations or proper sentences. -- Jnanaranjan Sahu (ଜ୍ଞାନ) talk 04:18, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Continuous edit reverting by 103.248.237.9 despite providing reliable sources
An anonymous editor with IP address of 103.248.237.9  continuously reverting or removing my edits despite me providing sufficient reference and well sourced citations to back my edits and continuously done so in these reverts 1, 2, 3, 4 without seeking any general consensus in talk page. The explanation given by him was "Only fact checking and removing false information.Yes, it IS npov. Don't try to push and advertise a certain place to compete with another's, in this case, Cumilla's. The person adding Kolkata rasmalai again and again is trying to upheld Kolkata with non npov", though I have provided reliable sources and didn't made any false claim about Kolkata's Rasmalai being famous. Also he is falsely accusing me to push advertising and adding non NPOV content while he himself committing it by erasing well sourced material to push POV. I am not replacing Comilla with Kolkata or challenging Comilla's Rasmalai's recognition or upholding Kolkata over Comilla anyway, I am only adding Kolkata with Comilla as both places are famous for their Rasmalai and this is not a false or unsourced claim by me, infact K.C Das Grandsons of Kolkata is among the major contenders for the place of its origin and like Comilla, Rasmalai in Kolkata is very famous too and Kolkata is well documented and known for its Rasmalai, even more than Comilla too. but this guy still claiming that it is me who pushing POV but not him. I have warned him about edit warring in his talk page and to seek general consensus before reverting my edit or reverts but he is acting with a I DIDN'T HEAR THAT mentality and countinued to revert my edit afterwards. It will be very helpful if any third opinions help to resolve this continuous edit warring. Kingarthur581 (talk) 17:22, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Administrator note: I have locked the article for 4 days to stop the edit warring - to try to get people to come here and discuss. Please talk and try to reach consensus. By the way, the current protected version has a nice neutral mention of both places, Comilla and Kolkata, without claiming either is better than the other. You all might want to consider if this is a good compromise. If you can all agree on what should be in the article, and there will not be any more edit warring, you can let me know and I will unlock the page. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:21, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Evidence for Comilla claim?
The article does not include any valid citations substantiating the Comilla claim, which is sufficiently old. Unless there is some evidence, the claim should be removed.

It needs to be older than K.T Acharya's "Indian Food: A Historical Companion" May 12, 1994, where he states:

"In 1868, 22-year-old Nobin Chandra Das of Sutanati (a former village that merged into Kolkata city) created the rasogolla or cottage cheese balls steamed and steeped in sugar syrup. Fifty years later, Krishna Chandra Das (K C Das)adapted the rasogolla recipe to create the milk-based ras malai."

I have a collection of old books on Bengali sweets, I do recall Krishna Chandra Das claim.
