From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chhanabora is a sweetmeat from the Indian subcontinent made from chhena and syrup.[1] It is attested from the 16th century.[2] It is related to rosogolla and pantua, sharing a cottage cheese basis with the former and a burnt brown crust with the latter. According to local legend, it was created when Maharaja Manindrachandra Nandi of Cossimbazar ordered his cook to create a dessert that was neither rosogolla nor pantua. It is common in Murshidabad and outsize chhanabora are a common gift for high-ranking visitors.[3]
