A Traditional Bengali Sweet That Melts in Your Mouth

Rasgulla, also known as rosogolla in Bengali, is one of India’s most beloved desserts. Made from fresh chenna (Indian cottage cheese) and cooked in a light sugar syrup, these soft, spongy white balls are a perfect blend of sweetness and simplicity. Originating in the eastern regions of India—especially Odisha and West Bengal—rasgulla has become a symbol of celebration and joy across the country. Whether served chilled at festivals, weddings, or family gatherings, this melt-in-your-mouth treat never fails to delight the senses with its delicate texture and mildly sweet flavor.
