Rasgulla or ''syrup filled ball'' is a syrupy dessert popular in the eastern part of South Asia. It is made from ball-shaped dumplings of chhena (a style of cheese, originating from the Indian subcontinent) dough, cooked in light sugar syrup made of sugar. This is done until the syrup permeates the dumplings. In 2016, the West Bengal government applied for a geographical indication (GI) tag for the variant called ''Banglar rosogolla'' (Bengali rasgulla) clarifying that the Bengal and Odisha variants were different in ''both in colour, texture, taste, juice content and method of manufacturing.'' The spongy white rasgulla is believed to have been introduced in present-day West Bengal in 1868 by a Kolkata-based confectioner named Nobin Chandra Das. Rasgullas is within a container at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on 12/09/2023.

The Rosogolla sweet display at the Kolkata city femurs KC Das Sweet on November 14,2017 in Kolkata,India. The debate over the origin of the rosogolla is not merely about Bengali and Odia sentiments. The bragging rights may translate into good business for confectioners in the two states. It was sweet victory for West Bengal after a bitter feud over one of India’s most celebrated desserts. On Tuesday, the Geographical Indications (GI) registry announced that the rosogolla (also known as rasgulla) originated in the state, and not in Odisha.
