Indian dessert balls

February 18, 2015 By Roshan Kumar Leave a Comment

Authentic recipe for Indian dessert balls so you will not only enjoy the delicious sweet taste of rasgulla or rosogolla, but also learn how to make homemade cottage cheese.

Makes 12 rosogolla balls in 1 day, originally posted by Guest Chef Roshan Kumar, 27th December 2005 (Sweets / Milk-based / Asian (India) / Gas or electric stove/ 1 day of work). Roshan Kumar is a young and very enthusiastic chef from India. He used to run his own web-site "Indian Food Kitchen" with his collection of Indian recipes, for all those who love Indian cuisine.

Sometimes the people of India preserve their fresh milk by making it into a fresh cheese called Paneer.

They also preserve their milk by concentrating it over heat and mixing it with creams (called Khoa) and sweets (called Chenna).

Roshan Kumar says : "Rosogolla is a very popular sweet from the Indian state of Bengal, which is especially known for its sweets. I loved it as a kid and still eat them like a glutton – 🙂 even now, though I’m not very old, just 24….. 

Here’s the recipe…..Cheers"
