Historical text of Odisha talks about Rasagola word, when there is no existence of Naveen Chandra or kolkatta. So It is clear Rasagola is an invention of Odisha but poularized and commercialized by Bengal
In eastern India, the popularity of the "Banglar rasgulla" is confined to Kolkata and its suburbs only. "Banglar rasgulla" is a misnomer; it should be called "Kolkatar rasgulla".
Everywhere else in West Bengal - in other smaller cities, towns and villages, they prepare the dish using the original technique from Odisha - bigger, browner, and tastier. The "Banglar rasgulla" became known to the rest of India because it had the huge advantage of being prevalent in Kolkata, a very large city.
Even the "Pahal rasgulla" pales in comparison to what you'd find in rural Odisha. The best rasgullas are from a small town called Salepur. The Salepur rasgullas are culinary heaven. But as Pahal is in the outskirts of the capital city of Bhubaneswar, it enjoys a relative advantage over the better Salepur rasgulla. Even rasgullas in Puri taste better than Pahal rasgullas, and certainly Banglar rasgullas.
*On page 119 of a book published by the University of Calcutta in 1921 and edited by Bijoychandra Mazumdar (that contains parts of the fifteenth century Odia "Dandi Ramayana"), it is clearly stated that gaja, rasabali, chena puri and RASAGOLLA were offered as "bhog" to the Jagannath temple's dieties in Puri, Odisha.* (I have an image of the same page from that 1921 book!)
C'mon Kolkata'r Roshogolla is the best one and I've personally tried both Salepurer Rasagola and the Puri ones.
Moreover, at the end of the day, the Kolkata'r Roshogolla is the one that's famous all around India and enjoyed as a delicacy by millions.
@xlr8_bs514 okay...that's ur opinion...and in my opinion I like pahala the most..
@@xlr8_bs514 Kolkata's rasagolla isn't even popular elsewhere inWest Bengal, outside its own suburbs. Go to Burdwan or Medinipur or Bardhaman or even on the other side - 24 Parganas and check out the rasagollas there.
*Outside Kolkata, everywhere else in West Bengal, rasagollas are still made in the good old-fashioned, original recipe from Odisha.*
The Kolkata rasagolla got popular in other parts of India because:
1) Kolkata is a huge metropolis which is a big advantage.
2) The original Odia rasagollla perishes within hours, even in a fridge.
3) Bhagwandas Bagla (a Marwari merchant) popularized the Kolkata rasagolla.
@@xlr8_bs514 *Former Indian cricket captain Saurav Ganguly himself admitted on TV (in a Bengali TV show no less!) that rasagolla originated from Odisha, not Bengal:* th-cam.com/users/shorts7a5xy368IEA?si=0cv1ILWO7107GB1F
Rossogulah Story is great.Every Indian Love Rossogulla.Its unique mouth watering Desert.Thanks IVM TEAM.
Wow Spongee Mouth watering West Bengal or Orissa Rosogolla,all are mind blowing.
Bengal invented chhana/Chhena during Portugese rule in eastern India.Chhana is a main ingredient of Rosogolla.Arter it's invention Sweet makers of Nadia district invented 1st Rosogolla in 16 th century.
After some time,Mahaprabhu Sri Chaitanya migrated from Nadia--Puri to live at his ancestoral land (1509-1533).And then he introduced Banglar Rosogolla(Santipur , Ranaghat Rosogolla)in Odia society. But, odia people banned chhena/chhana in their temple because it is a distorted milk product.And they killed mahaprabhu in puri.Odia reference 'Dandi Ramayan' ,written in 1467 by Balram das, which odia people are introducing as proof to claim "Banglar Rosogolla".It's origial copy is not available.Original 'Dandi Ramayan' was written in 'Tal Patra'.
Morden copy of 'Dandi Ramayan' is duplicate & pretty much distorted by Re-writers.Re-writers added "Rosgola" word in their distorted 'Dandi Ramayan'.
even,There is no mention of Rosogolla in Jagannath Prabhus bhog, in a old book like 'chaitnya charitamrita'.So you can understand how odisha is spreading disinformations.
Odia Hindus have war with Bengal Nizam for 500 years, this is nothing. Bongs especially from Kalikatta have habit of stealing, remember the guy in your college who took your book and vanished?
idiot odia nizams were south indian muslims and bengal was ruled by the hindus bengali hindus conquered odisha 4 times king pratapaditya defeated odishas muslim king isha kha lohani and rosogolla is invented by a bengali
Yes.. Epic comment ❤😂
Yup I'm agree that you guys brought many variations in the rasagola but the authentic will be always authentic.....the copy cat can't match the level of authenticity that our rasagola offers. Love you bengali mates from odisha 🎉
Kumar bhai you ROCK man... Good Story...
Very nice presentation by IVM Team about West Bengal, Orissa Rosogolla h.💕💕💕💖💖💕💕💕
Bengal invented chhena during colonial rule.how odisha invented Rosogolla in 12 th century?😂
Kisi bhi country mai puch lena rosogolla kaha ka famous hai all countries say it is Bengal famous sweet... Proud to be an Bengali
Famous to bengal me biriyani bhi hai to kya biriyani bengali food hai??
@@arbinsharma-cf8px Yes, Do you know Kolkata biriyani is different just like Hyderabadi biriyani is different from Lucknow Biriyani. Invention and identification is different my friend.
No rasgulla is from odisha and I am from darbhanga .
@@HridayanshTribedi Yes Odisha's Rasagola is from Odisha and Bengal Roshogolla is from West Bengal. They have different recipes and ingredients as well as different GI tags from the government.
@@RiddhikaBasu kiya rasagola roshogolla laga rha hai.... Sirf rasgulla bolo na 😂
Abhi me rasgulla matlab kiya sochu rasagola ya roshogolla
Before going into the debate people of Orissa should know that Bengal is different in many respects from rest of India. Bengalis take boiled rice while it is unknown to rest of India. Bengalis take sweet curd while rest of India takes sour curd. Bengalis take pond fish while rest of India takes river and sea fish. Bengalis follow tantric system of worship while rest of India follows Vedic system. Bengalis follow mitakshara system of laws while rest of India follows dayabhaga system. So when 6ana or paneer was considered impure in rest of India it was not used for offering to god. But Bengal and Bengalis used it.
You should akso know that the word Rasagola appeared first time in Odia rpic ‘Dandi Ramayan’ along with 7-8 other Chhena based sweets in 14th centure much before the establishment of the City of Calcutta and 400-500 before the birth of NC Das.
If you can show from records that rosogolla was prepared in Puri temple traditionally and regularly during 17th and 18th century then it definitely belongs to Orissa. But that time outside Bengal only khir was used which was prepared by boiling milk until the water content was evaporated to make it solid, not cottage cheese.
Wherever we argue over who invented rasagola, whether it's thick or thin, whether it belongs to Bengal or Odisha, there's a lot of similarity between us. We're two neighbors.
@@ellorasworld9007thank you for this candid reply.
I know rasgulla belongs to Odisha
Right.. The Rasagula is given to please Goddess Laxmi by Lord Jagannath at the time of Niladri Bije ,last ritual of Rath yatra...
the point is that its one kind of prasad or bhoj to be offered to lord jagannath.. so the common people at that point of time did not think to make it in their home as they regarded as Rasagula is a holy thing as its a prasad or bhoj .. for which the Rasagula is comfined to puri in the ancient period... after that slowly its widespread though out odisha...
another aspect is be frank to say odia people from the ancient past battling with proverty and misery so they didn't afford to make it in every household for which it has not been spread and reach to common people of odisha...
and also the people of odisha have not the habit to take desert after main course like bengali or other people of india.. rather we hv practice to have sweets in the breakfast or in evening snacks...
another most important factor is not only rasagula there are verieties of sweets are in odisha..
chenapoda of Nayagarh
Rasabali of of kendrapada
chennajhilli of Nimapada
also Rabidi and peda offered as bhog or prasad at khirachora gopinath temple , Remuna, balasore
We odias be like...humse kuch bhi churalo bas hamara khana mat churao😅
Aplog bengal ka roshogolla mt churao😅
I'm not odia nor bengali but I know bengali ka chura ne ka nature hai.....
@@HridayanshTribedi or mujhe v pata hai odia log bihar bengal assam or cg ka khana chutane ka nature hai

Just a example Momos, a Tibetan cuisine, are also known as dumplings also found in China and Japan, also known as momos in India. Whoever the inventor is, each has distinct recipes and flavors. Rasgulla originates from Pahala, Odisha, with variations like West Bengal's roshogolla, each holding separate GI tags reflecting differences in appearance, ingredients, and taste. Mythological fact is also fact where most of the Bengali also admitted the use of curdled milk was an ancient recipe from Utkal region. Odisha's rasgulla is brown, less sweet, with a rough texture, made from combining suji and chenna. West Bengal's rosogolla is fluffy, made from chenna, boiled until it floats in sugar syrup, often using palm jaggery for a brown hue. I live in Cuttack, Odisha, near famous and crowded sweet shops managed by non-Oriyas employing Bengali confectioners from district Hooghly. While Odisha has its sweets and rasagula. Bengali is favored globally for Roshogolla and other sweets by many Bengalis. West Bengal, renowned for sweets, shows little concern over this debate.
But according to story claimed by odisha, i got to know that jagannath to appeal lakshmi invented new type of sweet called rasagola but again in ramayan it has statement, the thing is that ram is before and jagannath after and rasagola was first invented by vishnu in form of jagannath, moreover the skanda puran purushottam khestra khanda the first text about gundicha yatra doesn't mention rasagola or chenna used in odisha ever
*Not true. The entire Bengali claim is based on the FALSE premise that curdling milk was taboo in India until the savage Portuguese taught Bengalis how to make chhena, giving Nobin Das the idea of making rasgullas in 1868. I list 10 points below, each of which demolishes the very premise of that claim:*
1. *Puri Jagannath temple records from the 15th century mention that chhena sweets were prepared in the temple kitchen.*
2. *It's a centuries old custom at the Puri temple to prepare rasagollas during the **_Rath Yatra_** festival in order to appease Jagannath's consort, **_Lakshmi._*
3. *For centuries a chhena sweet dish called **_Chanda Chakta_** has been prepared in the **_Baladevji_** temple in Kendrapara.*
4. *Chhena is mentioned in the 15th century Odia text, **_Dandi Ramayana._*
5. *A 10th century treatise called **_Manasollasa_** redacted during the reign of King **_Somesvara_** III, describes sweets made of drained, curdled milk.*
6. *The 2,000 year old **_Charaka Samhita_** mentions preparing sweets out of curdled milk.*
7. *Rasgulla is made from whey-curdled chhena, whereas the Portuguese taught these Bengali culinary geniuses how to make acid-curdled cheese; the two types are very different.*
8. *Even the Bengali sweet, **_Sandesh_** predates the arrival of the savage Portuguese looters.*
9. *In the 19th century, Bengali upper class households routinely hired Odia cooks, especially from Puri. Several medieval Odia dishes must have been passed on to Bengalis in that process.*
10. *Nobody makes those squeaky white "Banglar rossogolla": outside Kolkata. In other parts of Bengal (e.g. Bardhaman, Nadia or 24 Parganas districts) rasgulas are preparedin the original style of Odisha - browner, bigger, juicier, without sooji, and tastier!*
No due to Britishers WB rsgla was promoted..
But RASAGOLA IS ODISHA'S PRIDE
@@ashutoshmohanty713 Agree 100%. Odisha's rasagollas and other traditional sweets are a class apart.
(BTW, although used in India all the time, a person from Britain is not referred to as a"Britisher". The person would be *British,* a *British person/man/woman* or - informally - a *Brit.* )
@@Imagine_No_Religion The last point is absolutely false. Living in west bengal as well as in odisha we can say...the fluffy white Roshogolla is made all over the west bengal. Stop spreading wrong information. Burdwan and most north 24 parganas have the best fluffy white Roshogolla. Cause they don't use toned or pasteurized milk. Where Odisha Rasagula is brownier, made with Chennai and suji, and not that syrupy....
@@RiddhikaBasu The last point is absolutely true. I have been to other parts of West Bengal, and even have relatives from 24 Parganas. The rasgullas I had there were no different than the ones made in Odisha. They didn't use the KC Das recipe.
Rasagola in odisha ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Jay jagannath❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ history prouf is rasgola famous odisha state ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Jay jagannath❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rasgolla odisha ka hai 12 century se lord jagannath maa Laxmi ke pass bhog lagaya jaraha hai
Rasgolla ek Odia word he Odia language me sabse pahle rasgolla word use hua hai jo ki likhith rup se hai 15 century ki kabi balaram das ki dandi ramayan mein
Rasgolla chhene se Banta hai rasgolla banane ke liye sabse jaruri hai chhene or ye chhene bhi ek Odia word Odia language me sabse sabse pehle chhene word ka use hua hai ye bhi likhith rup se hai 14 century ki kabi saraladas ki Odia Mahabharat mein mention hai
Chhene or rasgolla dono Odia word he odia language me sabse pehle use hau hai Odia se pehle dusra kisi bhi language me ye do word ka kuchh bhi sabut nahi hai Bengal ke pass toh bilkul bhi nahi
Odisha ki rasgolla jo chhene se Banta hai or sugar cyrup (chasni) me dala jata hai
Bengol ka rosogolla jo odisha rasgolla se alag hai jo alag chhez se Banta hai na us me sugar syrup use hota hai nahi chhene sayad suji se Banta hai Bengal ka roshogola
I am from Odisha Rasgulla was invented in Kolkata (West Bengal) Rasgulla was not invented in Odisha.
Hybrid
You are first bro you speak truth . Thanks ! Roshogolla is a emotion of bengali's 😋
Im a Bengali nd i declared that rasagola belongs to Odisha
@@crow2o80 I'm a odia and I declared that rosogolla belongs to wb .
@@rishudas2631 are ja re.... Jitna jhut bolna h bolo. Manuscript ko tum loog jhutla nahi sakte. Rasagola was mentioned in DANDI RAMAYAN which was written by Sarala Das in the 15th century. Jiske karan odisha ko 2019 m Gi tag mila.
Stay in ur delusion 🤣
We love you our Utkal mates, but gotta admit, Rosogolla is a Kolkata thing and the whole idea of Rosogolla internationally is of sponge rosogolla of our of Kolkata. Love your version, but nah it's Bengali :)
No, its not bro... even dada Saurav Ganguly admitted it !!!
No dear dishes not limited to status, the thing of West Bengal is best
*Former Indian cricket captain Saurav Ganguly admitted on TV - in a Bengali TV show no less - that rasagolla originated from Odisha, not Bengal:* th-cam.com/users/shorts7a5xy368IEA?si=0cv1ILWO7107GB1F
We don't need your love but you have to know that rasagola invented in Puri by odias and their is no version of rasagola that can beat pahala rasagola.🤡
Yup I'm agree that you guys brought many variations in the rasagola but the authentic will be always authentic.....the copy cat can't match the level of authenticity that our rasagola offers. Love you bengali mates from odisha 🎉
Odia rasagula has history of 600 years.
Please substantiate where GI authority made that announcement as it was described by you at 6:32. Where you a food blogger. Do not misrepresent. Do not strecth the truth.
The thing is they'll never agree, why do they agree. They've no official documents. And The Lokkatha they used for Roshogolla in Puri. Puri has the highest tourist of Bengali vistors. Not only that Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself born in Bengali family, most of business and hotels running by Bengalis in Puri. In Sri Jagannath Dham most offered sweets were roshogolla from Bengali Devotees from ages. Although Odisha made rasagulla is not at all similar from bengali roshogolla, not by texture, not recipe nor even taste. Bengal's Roshogolla is milk white, fluffy and made with pure channa. Odiaha based rasagola is made with chenna and suji, rough in texture, also a bit brownish. So both the sweets might have been named similar. But they're far different from each other. And Bengal will be always always will be the states of Sweet and Roshogolla. No battle about it. They accept or not. Odisha received GI tag after Bengal just because there's rasgola has different identification itself. That's all.
sorry to say dear, but your state's some intellectual group are always plagiarize many things from Odisha and even other neighbouring states! ask a Assemese about it.
I have a logical question for you... I hope you will answer after readig it.... and please give with using your brain and logic
if tourists of west bengal visited certain state( specifically odisha's Puri) then which has the highest chance ;
1. the tourist taste rasagolla in odisha's any place and eventually copied in their home (or)
2. they came here and given the repice to the locals and ask for to copy it and make their own version.
and you mentioned about bengoli hotels ; are these centuries old hotels?
one more thing; what is this yaar! why you mentioned about chaitanya mahaprabhu?! isn't that your rasagolla invented by some Nobin Chandra Das in 1865 ? and how is it related to shree chaitanya ???!!!
hope you answer my questions.!
and yes another clarification that ... its not about Lokkatha rather it mentioned in many literatures of odia language which are centuries old books like 15th century's Dandi Ramayana's 'Ajodhya kanda' . If you have doubt then you can google it!.
The thing is that you guys ignorant about all these .
@@lisadas5190 Do you even read my comment. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu born in West Bengal I've mentioned that. Just to mention there was an influence of Bengali visitors in Puri, use your brain before screaming. I've never said he was the one who made roshogolla. Are you dumb or what. Odisha's rasagola is very different from Kolkata's Rosogolla. And do some studies do you know what geographic identification means. It is only recognised when two special things are totally different from each other and they belong to two different places. So, stop your bullshit, sometimes screaming doesn't work. Whatever the rasagola or Roshogolla is. They are totally different from each other. You are not only hateful but also dumb. Odisha people enjoy your rasagola. We are happy with our roshogolla. Many bengali knows and accepts odisha rasagola was an ancient recipe. However the Roshogolla in Kolkata is very different from it. Accept the reality. It is different. There's no debate about it, it's different by texture, procedure and even appearance. Stop seeking unnecessary attention. Kolkata's Rosogolla was invented or odia people say modified by Nabin Chandra which has no similarities from the Odisha rasagola. So it's altogether a new taste. I live in Cuttack where there are 2 famous sweet shops near my house where people mostly visit. And you know what both shops have the confectioners from West Bengal from the district Hooghly. It's fine with you guys screaming your lungs out for Odisha Rasagola. But for any Bengali people..Roshogolla would be the best they ever tried. Odisha has Rasagola, West Bengal has Roshogolla. No big deal and you know what in West Bengal... people really don't care because we have other sweets in our states. Kolkata sweets are already worldwide famous. So chill. We aren't debating nor fighting.
@@lisadas5190 Do you even read the whole comment, when did I ever mentioned that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is related to Roshogolla. That's so stupid of you. I have mentioned that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was born in West Bengal in a Bengali Brahmin family just mentioning the influence of Bengali visitors in Puri. And from the questions you have asked that show your IQ level which is pretty poor to be honest. Momo is a Tibetan cuisine but also it's called Dumplings in Japan, in India we call it momo. So, whoever the inventor is, it gets modified by different regions and with different names. So, according to you they also scream. There should be a level of stupidity. The fact, in Pahala, Odisha rasagula was first recognised and its Odisha where Chenna dough combined with suji dunked in sugar was made. Also there is an ancient mythological fact that Mahaprabhu's favourite sweets are syrupy chenna golla formerly known as rasgula. So, don't even try to educate people with half knowledge. In West Bengal the Roshogolla is more fluffy, white, and sweeter. There's no use of suji or any other condiments. With pure chenna. And do you know what geographic identification means, it means when two or more popular things are totally different from each other and belong to a particular location. Then the government recognised those locations with GI tags (POV. Bothe states have received their GI tags separately) Odisha rasgula is totally different from West Bengal's rasagula, there's no debate about it. There's no point in screaming your lungs and spreading hate. And some Odia people say Bengal's Roshogolla is brown too, my friend that's because in winter we use palm jaggery as a sweetener. FYI I live in Cuttack, Odisha and near my home there are two major and famous sweet shops where most of the crowd buys sweets from. Just a funny fact about both the sweet shops, run by non-odia people and confectioners are from West Bengal from the district Hooghly. And answers for your question many Bengalis in west bengal do agree that using of curdled milk/chenna and suji dough with sugar syrup or rasagula is an ancient recipe from the utkal region. However in West Bengal we excluded the suji or any binding agent and made the chenna itself fluffier by kneading the chenna for a longer time and boiling the whole thing in sugar syrup until it floats. Both the recipes are totally different from each other, maybe a modification but totally different in appearance, in taste and even by ingredients. So chill, stop seeking unnecessary attention. And one thing in Bengal people don't care about it because West Bengal is already worldwide famous for its sweets. So enjoy your Rasagula from Odisha and we are totally happy and satisfied with our Roshogolla.
@@lisadas5190Okay. I've found your reply which is very stupid of you it basically shows your IQ level which is very poor to be honest. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was born in West Bengal in the Bengali Brahmin family, just to ensure there was an influence of Bengalis and Bengali visitors in Puri. There is no relation between Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and rasagula. And about your above question.Do you know momo is Tibetan cuisine, fibre in China and Japan they recognised it as dumplings and in India we call it momo. Whoever the inventor is, the whole process and recipe and taste wise all of them are different from each other. So according to you they should also scream their lungs out. That's so stupid and dumb of you. And don't even try to educate people with half of your knowledge. Rasgulla was first made or recognised in Pahala, Odisha. Also there was a mythological fact where Mahaprabhu's favourite sweets are syrupy Chenna gula formally known as rasgulla. And as a fact most of the Bengali peoples do agree and admit that using of curdled milk/chenna and making a sweet ball of it, was an ancient recipe from Utkal region. That doesn't mean West Bengal should not have a different variation of chenna golla. And I don't think you know the meaning of geographical identification or GI tags. Which means when two or more special things are totally different from each other and if they belonging to a particular location, it gets recognised by the government with GI tags (both the states have received their GI tags separately). So that does mean Odisha rasgulla and West bengal's rosogolla is totally different from each other by appearance by ingredients and event taste. In Odisha chenna dough combined with suji dump into sugar syrup called rasgulla. It is brown, it's not very sweet and even it has a rough texture. In West Bengal we don't add any condiments or any binding agent with the Chenna. We knead the chenna dough for a longer period of time to make it fluffier and boil the Roshogolla into sugar syrup until it floats. So Orissa rasgulla and West bengal's Roshogolla are totally different from each other so stop screaming your lungs out and trying to get more attention. Some Oriya people say that in West Bengal we do have brown Roshogolla. Just the information in winter we use palm jaggery as a sweetener for making the Roshogolla, which makes it brown in colour. FYI I live in Cuttack, Odisha. Near my house there are two renowned and famous sweet shops where most of the crowd buys sweets from. Just a fun fact both the sweet shops run by non Oriya people and both of the sweet shops have confectioners from West Bengal particularly the district of Hooghly, they're called Bengali 'Moira' = Confectioners. No offence Odisha does have very popular sweets even rasgula is also very famous. However for every Bengali Bengal's Roshogolla would be the best they have ever tried. And to be honest in West Bengal people really don't care about it because West Bengal is already worldwide famous for its sweets. So chill, no attention for your fake drama.
@@lisadas5190 Your reply shows your lacks understanding and intelligence. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, born into a Bengali Brahmin family in West Bengal, has no association with rasgula. That was just to mention the influence of Bengali's in Odisha. Momos, a Tibetan cuisine, are also known as dumplings also found in China and Japan, also known as momos in India. Whoever the inventor is, each has distinct recipes and flavors. Rasgulla originates from Pahala, Odisha, with variations like West Bengal's roshogolla, each holding separate GI tags reflecting differences in appearance, ingredients, and taste.
