Rasgulla, also known as Rosogola or Rosogolla, Rasagola is a famous and popular syrupy dessert in West Bengal and Orissa. It is made from ball-shaped dumplings of Chena/chhena dough, cooked in light syrup made of sugar. This is done until the syrup penetrates the dumplings. Today I will share how to Make Rasgulla/ Bengali Sponge Rosogolla, a very basic and simple recipe; no need to complicate it by adding some other things to chena dough. The quality of Rasgulla depends only on the mashing of chena (provided there is no water in it), it should be mashed for 8-10 minutes in a wide and flat place, ensuring that no crack is there while making the chena balls.

How to Make Rasgulla/ Bengali Sponge Rosogolla
Boil 1 liter milk in a pan in a medium-high flame
![Rasgulla step1](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step1.png)
Stir it occasionally, and let it boil for 2 minutes

![Rasgulla step3](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step3.png)
Now lower the flame, and slowly add the lemon juice. (Before adding lemon juice take out 2 tbsp milk and keep it aside to clean the sugar syrup afterward), and keep on stirring, until the milk curdles

Now turn off the flame, and strain the chhena from the liquid. ( take a muslin cloth and place it over a big bowl, and now pour the chhena with liquid over it and squeeze the cloth tightly and take out the liquid, then put a heavy object over it for 2-3 hours to let all the liquid out.)

![Rasgulla step11](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step11.png)
After 3 hours take out the chhena from the clothing, and start mashing for 8-10 minutes.
![Rasgulla step12](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step12.png)
![Rasgulla step13](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step13.png)
![Rasgulla step14](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step14.png)
Now start making lemon size balls with the help of your palm ensuring there is no crack in the balls (otherwise while dropping in the sugar syrup it will break and make the syrup messy), and cover them.
![Rasgulla step15](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step15.png)
![Rasgulla step16](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step16.png)
![Rasgulla step17](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step17.png)
Now add sugar and water to a pan/vessel, and boil them in high flame
![Rasgulla step18](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step18.png)
Add two cardamom pods
![Rasgulla step19](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step19.png)
Now sprinkle milk (which you kept aside while boiling milk) over it and clean the dirt floating on the syrup.
![Rasgulla step20](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step20.png)
![Rasgulla step21](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step21.png)
After boiling for 3-4 minutes slowly drop the chena balls into the sugar syrup
![Rasgulla step22](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step22.png)
Now chena balls start toppling, and put the flame medium and let them boil for 10-12 minutes, (now you will find the chena balls are toppling very fast, and the size of the Rasgulla also becomes almost double.
![Rasgulla step23](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step23.png)
![Rasgulla step24](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step24.png)
So turn off the flame now, and let them rest for 40-45 minutes in the same pan.
![Rasgulla step25](https://www.yummyfoodanddiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rasgulla-step25.png)
Then transfer them to a serving plate and serve, or you may serve chilled.
