Many iconic Bengali sweets begin with one humble ingredient: fresh chhana.

Its soft texture provides the foundation for favourites such as rosogolla and sandesh. The way chhana is prepared and handled plays an important role in the final texture of these sweets.

It is this respect for ingredients and technique that has helped Bengali sweet-making develop its distinctive character.
