Nolen Gurer Rasogulla

Jump to Recipe

Rasgulla is a syrupy dessert. It is immensely popular in India. Sugar free Chenna Rasgulla is jaggery based rassogulla. Bengalis also call it Nolen Gurer Rasogulla. We soak soft cottage cheese balls in light palm sugar syrup overnight for best results.

Learn to make these easy spongy balls made with fresh ricotta. They are gluten free and can be made anytime you have extra full cream milk at home.

What is Nolen gur?

Jhola gur or Nolen gur is the new jaggery. It is extracted from date palm trees. Nolen gurer recipes have an earthen feel to it. All sweets are slightly brown in color as it uses natural sugar. Nolen gurer payesh, gurer kachagolla, sandesh and raskadam are other recipes. I love using natural sugar for sweets instead of white sugar.

Travel trivia: Pahala

One place which deserves special mention is Pahala. It is near Bhubaneshwar, Odisha. It is just outside the main city and they make sweets exclusively. You can also sit down and have a cup of tea while your order is packed. Most drivers going inter-city take a halt there to enjoy these delicacies. Chenna pudo and Chenna jhili are a bonus to taste. Most sweets are made with paneer or cottage cheese and sugar.

It is a must visit for a foodie. This place has stalls along both sides of the road. You will never see so many sweets on a highway. There are many other sweets which can be made from the same.
