'''Rasgulla''' or '''Rosogolla''' or '''Rasagola''' is a South Asian syrupy dessert popular in the [[Indian subcontinent]] and regions with South Asian diaspora. It is made from ball-shaped dumplings of [[chhena]] (an Indian cottage cheese) and [[semolina]] dough, cooked in light syrup made of [[sugar]]. This is done until the syrup permeates the dumplings. | '''Rasgulla''' or '''Rosogolla''' or '''Rasagola''' is a South Asian syrupy dessert popular in the [[Indian subcontinent]] and regions with South Asian diaspora.
