It was brought in from the neighboring state of Orissa to West Bengal in the 19th century. Orissa have had the Rasgullas for many centuries. In the coastal city of Puri in Orissa, the\u00a0Rasgullas\u00a0has always been and are still\u00a0offered to Gods in the temples. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I come from a small town. When I visited home last\u00a0year after many summers I was stunned and to some extent disappointed to see so much change. The &#8220;modernization&#8221; stole a part of my childhood. I sought comfort in the old; old friends, places and streets which are heavy with our footsteps, an ancient tree truck where I sat down on a summer afternoon, behind the old brick wall which we used to be our favorite place to hide when we played hide and seek, some sweet shops and so much more. Friends have moved,\u00a0 many old homes had new faces behind the windows, the wall had to come down to accommodate a new polished building I did not care for. The stub of the tree still remains in my home with the roots intact and many stories to tell from hundreds of years back. There also stood some of my favorite sweet shops &#8211; unchanged just like the tree trunk, with their roots deeply embedded into traditions and quality.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Roshogolla<\/em> that these old shops sold in clay pots have fought through the changes of time and have won.\u00a0 They have remained chaste and unblemished. They have passed on from one generation to another and they have\u00a0still managed to hold on to the heritage.\u00a0The shops are no bigger than they were\u00a0twenty years back.\u00a0There was satisfaction and also a strange sense triumph to hold on to that pot of clay filled with <em>Roshogolla<\/em>. A victory, to say that there are\u00a0certain things still capable of staying\u00a0rooted amidst all the\u00a0changes\u00a0which I failed to deal\u00a0with.\u00a0\u00a0There\u00a0was tender comfort\u00a0to see the thin\u00a0white paper that covered the pot was slowly soaked through with the syrup as\u00a0few of the <em>Roshogolla<\/em> piled up touching the paper. No fancy\u00a0bags, ribbons\u00a0or boxes. Just the plain old clay pot covered with syrup soaked paper\u00a0brought back the peace within me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>There are umpteen numbers of\u00a0festivities in the India.\u00a0<strong>Diwali<\/strong>\u00a0is around the corner and this is also the\u00a0time for the biggest religious festival in Bengal.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0Durga Puja<\/strong> is the\u00a0autumnal\u00a0celebration and\u00a0is usually\u00a0 known\u00a0as the<strong> Sharodotsav<\/strong> ( fall festival &#8211; a way to\u00a0honor the season in harmony with the religious festival).\u00a0The time is a celebration of\u00a0\u00a0the power of female Shakti symbolized by the Goddess Durga.

Take half of the syrup and add\u00a0some warm water to the syrup (3 parts syrup to 1 part water). Stir it in really well and simmer it for about five minutes. Now take each Rasgulla and gently squeeze\u00a0the syrup from it without breaking them. Best way to do it is to take each one of them between your palms or your fingers\u00a0and gently squeeze. Now drop each of the Rasgullas in the syrup which you have simmered with some water for a few minutes. Allow them to soak in the diluted\u00a0 warm\u00a0syrup. They will be light and spongy and with just the right amount of sweet. If you want to add some flavors like rose or saffron add it to the syrup.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Little T LOVES <em>Rasgullas<\/em> more than anyone else in our family.

As soon as you see the sugar has dissolved and water has come to a roaring boil, add your first set of the Rasgullas to cook. When the first set is done and you see that the syrup has thickened or reduced in volume, add more water and a little bit of sugar and allow it to come to a roaring boil again before you add another batch of the Rasgullas.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The <em>Rasgullas<\/em> cooked for too long:<\/strong> <em>If you are using a pressure cooker with a whistle, it will take only one whistle for the Rasgullas to be done.(the time includes the cooker heating up and getting ready for the steam). If you are using a pot with a lid, it will take anywhere from 12 &#8211; 16 minutes, with opening a lid and releasing the steam once during the process. Remove the batch of Rasgullas with some syrup &#8211; enough for the cooked Rasgullas to be immersed completely and let them soak in this after they have been cooked.<\/em><br \/>\n<em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you cook them for too long they will start to lose the pure white color, and the smoothness of the texture. (They will finally turn this way but not during the cooking process but when they stay immersed in the syrup for a while). If they start looking this way while cooking, they will turn even more stiff after they are done.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The outside of the uncooked <em>Rasgullas<\/em> hardened\/crusted<\/strong>. <em>Cook the Rasgullas in batches. If they are overcrowded they will knock against each other and the chances are they might dissolve. They are very delicate and soft during the first few minutes. Besides, if you roll a lot the Rasgullas and leave them in open air, the outside of the Rasgullas will form a thin crusty layer and when you cook them, it will prevent the syrup to go in. So roll a few and cook them. While they are cooking, get the other batch ready.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Now let us start making them:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Making the Cheese\/Chenna:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pour the milk into a deep\u00a0 heavy\u00a0bottomed pot. Bring\u00a0the milk\u00a0to a boil.\u00a0When the milk comes to a roaring boil, addd the lemon juice (or vinegar) a little at a time (about a tablespoon), and lower the heat.\u00a0 Keep stirring\u00a0the milk as you add the lemon juice.<\/p>\n<p>After\u00a0a few\u00a0tablespoons<em> (this amount might differ and if the milk has already started splitting you do not have to use up the entire amount mentioned above. On the other hand, if you need mre, use more),<\/em> the milk will start\u00a0separating and you will a\u00a0greenish but\u00a0clear (not milky looking) whey along with the curdled milk.\u00a0Now immediately stop adding the lemon juice\/or vinegar and stop stirring. If too much of the curdling agent, the chenna\/\u00a0cheese will be tough and also sour.<\/p>\n<p>Turn off the heat, remove the pot from the stove\u00a0and allow the curdled milk to sit for about 8-12 minutes. Do not stir.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Collecting and Draining the Cheese\/Chenna:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place a cheese cloth or a very fine cotton cloth (make sure it is big enough as the cheese needs to be wrapped up and tied and hung) over a colander or strainer. <em>You can place the colander\/strainer over a large pot to collect the whey (the whey is healthy and can be actually be used to split the milk again for\u00a0rasgulla!! or it\u00a0is a good idea to make a bread dough with the whey in place of water).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Carefully pour\/or remove with a ladle, \u00a0the curdled milk into the lined colander.\u00a0<strong>Give the chenna\/cheese a quick wash with\u00a0a spray of\u00a0cold water.\u00a0This removes the smell of the curdling agent and also prevents the cheese from getting stiff<\/strong>.\u00a0Allow the whey to drain completely, about 15 &#8211;\u00a030\u00a0minutes. You can loosely cover the cheese with one end of the cloth so the surface does not dry out and form a layer of crust.<\/p>\n<p>Gather the end of the cheese cloth and\u00a0wring out any extra moisture; hang it and allow any left over whey to drip out. (I will usually hang it to a cabinet knob or the\u00a0tap\u00a0of the kitchen sink.). Leave it this way for about an hour to 2 hours. When you squeeze\u00a0there should be no more moisture dripping out and yet the cheese\/chenna should not be completely dried out.\u00a0\u00a0It should be really soft and moist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Kneading the Cheese\/Chenna:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After\u00a0hanging and draining,\u00a0remove the cheese and soak it up in a layer of paper towels removing as much moisture. If you feel that it still feels too wet and not so well drained, spread it out in a plate and lightly cover with a\u00a0wet cheese cloth\/paper towel\u00a0(so the top layer does not crust- yet allowing it to dry). Leave it this way for about\u00a0half an\u00a0hour. If the cheese if too wet, you will not be able to roll and the <em>Rasgullas<\/em> might break while cooking.<\/p>\n<p><em>The kneading of the cheese is very important. You can either use a food processor, or knead with hand. After kneading it should be smooth and creamy like mascarpone cheese but when gathered into a ball, it should do so easily without leaving trails and smears on the board or the counter top. <strong>The kneading should be perfect and long enough so as the fat in the cheese comes out and prevents it from sticking. <\/strong>The consistency should be almost like a dough (but not stretchy like flour).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The kneading\u00a0needs to be done well and for long enough\u00a0to achieve the above mentioned texture &#8211; about 30 minutes if done by hand.<\/p>\n<p>You may knead it over a board\/stone\/counter top or in a large tray.\u00a0Sprinkle some all purpose flour on the surface if you need to.\u00a0We usually knead it with the heel of the palm, and the palm. The way it is done is kneading parts of it away from you towards the outer edge and bringing it back to you and repeating the back and forth motion. It is a different kind of kneading than that of a bread. A food processor may be used too. The machine saves time and energy and works just well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Rolling and Cooking the Cheese\/Chenna to make Rasgullas:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Divide the dough into 40 rough portions (or less if you want <em>Rasgullas<\/em> of bigger size). Roll about 10 of them in your palms. Make a dent with your finger and insert a large grains sugar inside. (what this does while it cooks is creates a hollow, as the sugar melts and makes the <em>rasgullas<\/em> light and airy). Roll it back again until it has a really smooth surface with no cracks. They should be smooth without holes or lines going across them. So roll them well.<\/p>\n<p>Make these in batches as you cook; if too many are rolled and left in the open, the surface dries up and forms a crust and when cooked they will be tough as the crust prevents the syrup from going in.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The sugar is added to the syrup in two steps. Only a little sugar is added the first time as less amount of sugar in the syrup allows the cheese balls to absorb the syrup better. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Add half the sugar to the water and bring the sugar\u00a0 and water\u00a0to a boil until\u00a0the sugar has completely dissolved and the\u00a0solution\u00a0is in roaring boil.\u00a0 Just before you add the <em>chenna<\/em> balls, reduce the heat to medium-high.\u00a0<em>If there are too many you might have to cook them in batches. After a\u00a0couple of sets,\u00a0the sugar syrup will thicken; add\u00a0some hot\u00a0water and some sugar to replenish and bring it back to\u00a0the original consistency. The\u00a0level\u00a0of the liquid\u00a0should be just high enough that the balls completely submerge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Put\u00a0a few\u00a0balls in boiling syrup. Cover and cook. The balls will puff up in about\u00a0 10 &#8211; 15\u00a0minutes. You may uncover and release the steam only once during the cooking process. Do not move around the balls as they are cooking. The cooking time will depend on the size of the ball. Remove the\u00a0 balls as soon as they puff up. An easy test to see if they are done is to\u00a0remove one and drop it in a cup of cold water. If it floats, it needs to be further cooked.\u00a0When they are done the texture should be spongy and should bounce back when held down with the back of a spoon or a finger.<\/p>\n<p>Once each batch is cooked, remove them from the pot and place them in some sugar syrup which you can remove from the pot.<\/p>\n<p>Once they are all cooked, add the rest of the sugar to the remaining syrup. (if you think there is too less syrup, add more water). Simmer until all sugar is absorbed. Remove pot from heat and add a cup of cold water.
