Nolen Gur Sandesh in Kolkata
Winter only: nolen gur is date-palm sap tapped in the cold months, and the whole city's sweet shops change their menu around it.
Nolen Gur Sandesh
Sandesh made with nolen gur, the first date-palm sap of winter, boiled down to a smoky caramel. It exists for about three months a year, and Bengalis plan around it.
How it's eaten
Winter only, roughly December to February. Outside that window what you are handed is ordinary sandesh with caramel colour.
Where to eat nearby
The city's food with veg and non-spicy filters, in the app.
