The kheer kadamba is a layered sweet made primarily of dry rosogolla. Just when you think this could not get any sweeter, the dry rosogolla is covered by sweetened milk solids, which are then rolled in shredded kheer and powdered sugar, adding to the whole mystical flavor of this two-layered desert paradise.

Meet the sister of the Gulab Jamun, The Kalo Jam as it is called. A sweetened version of a dumpling, deep-fried to a dark brown or even blackish color. Topped with sliced pistachios, this sweet treat tastes even better than it looks.

Imagine a mixture of gram flour and clarified butter, passed through a sieve to make small globs of sinful pleasure, dripping with sugar syrup, served with chopped dry fruits of your choice. That’s how Bengalis like their Mihidana; rich and gloriously sweet.

The health quotient of rice flour clubbed with the eternal goodness of milk, makes up this divine dish - the Doodh Puli. Made along with many other sweet treats during the festival of Makar Sankranti, this creamy custard dish is a favorite with Bengalis and us.
