Rasogolla

Pujo Aachee...Ma Durga is coming...what is celebration without the bengali sweets. And what tops the list? undoubtedly Rasogolla. A big round ball, you just put it whole in your mouth and then puncture it and feel the burst of sweetness. The last day of Durga Puja is called "Bijoya Dashami" and that day Ma Durga's Idol is submerged in water and it is believed that she returned to her home. On the way back, we all buy sweets..."Mukh mishti korano"..that is part of our tradition. And every year we buy a big handi of Rasogolla...for ourselves and for all our friends and relatives too.
                Another important point I would like to make here...when I was in New Delhi, I actually came across a big shop with the name of "Bengali Sweets", it claims to specialize in this field. So even if you are not in Bengal still you can taste it.
