Rasgulla is an Indian sweet made from curdling milk , straining the watery part from it and kneading the milk solid left in the strainer or colander to form balls. These balls are then cooked till they puff up. A well made rasgulla must be spongy, light and juicy, but not chewy.

This sweet is mostly eaten as a dessert.
