Indian food

Rosogolla

Spongy cottage-cheese balls boiled in light syrup, and Bengal's most argued-over invention: West Bengal and Odisha both claim it, and West Bengal holds the geographical tag for the Banglar Rosogolla.

How it's eaten

Served cold, swimming in its own syrup, and eaten at the end of a meal rather than alongside it.

Where to try it

Kolkata
