Rasgulla or rosogolla is the most famous sweet from West Bengal. Kamala bhog is orange flavoured rasgulla.
Ingredients:
Milk – 1 lt
Sugar – 1 cup
Water – 4 cups
Orange juice – 1 medium orange
Lemon juice – 1 medium lemon
Orange colour – 1 pinch (optional)
Orange flavour– few drops
Recipe:
In a vessel heat milk and
then add orange and lemon juice. As a result the milk will break and turn into
chenna (soft paneer, a variety of Indian cottage cheese) and will look like
spongy lumps. Then strain water and hang in a maslin cloth for 30—45 minutes. Now
take a plate and smash the chenna with a pinch of orange food colour (optional) and few drops of orange flavour and make a smooth paste. You can do it
in mixer. Now make around 15 balls from
the chenna paste.
Take a large vessel and
add the sugar and water and turn on the gas to make syrup. When the sugar
starts melting, put the chenna balls into the syrup. Boil the balls for 25 – 30
minutes.
