Rasbari is a very popular dessert that is specially served with curd. Mostly famous in Nepal and India and is also known as rasgulla in India. It is a milk-based dessert which is small white milk balls soaked in chilled sugar syrup and famous during gatherings, parties and also served on many occasions.
The dish originated in East India; Odisha and West Bengal have variously claimed to be its birthplace. It is believed that rasbari is one of the demanded desserts in every festival. Not only in India but also in Nepal rasbari is equally popular. From Mother’s Day to a marriage ceremony, people love to eat rasbari with a spoon of curd in it.
