Khejur Gurer Rosogolla | Patali Gurer Roshogolla

Here's a recipe for making delicious, authentic Bengali Khejur Gurer Rosogolla, also known as Patali Gurer Roshogolla, right in your own kitchen!

Rosogolla, also known as Rasgulla, is a well-known treat, but have you tried Khejur Gurer Rosogolla? This Bengali winter dessert features Roshogolla flavored with date palm jaggery, also known as Khejur Gur, and it's truly special.

If you have some Patali Gur (Date Palm Jaggery) on hand, you can follow this step-by-step recipe with pictures. It's a family recipe that I learned from my Dad, who shared stories of how my Grandmother used to make it!

Winter Special Khejur Gurer Rosogolla

This year, I made Khejur Gurer Rosogolla for my daughter Pasta's birthday. Although it's a bit late, I'm finally sharing the recipe now after having it in drafts for a while!

Even though Rosogolla is readily available in Kolkata's sweet shops, I chose to make it at home for a small get-together that was planned a couple of days after Pasta's birthday in September.

Instead of ordinary white Rosogolla, I make Gurer Rosogolla! Each year, I keep a good amount of Khejur Gur er Patali, or Date Palm Jaggery, in the fridge. I use it for special treats like Rosogolla, Payesh, and Sandesh, especially Kancha Golla.

About Patali Gurer Roshogolla

To me, Rosogolla is something special, not just another Rasgulla! I love the classic, old-fashioned ROSOGOLLA, a sweet that almost every Bengali person adores! I used about 800g of Khejur Patali to make around 60 Rosogolla. We had about 30 guests that day, and everyone wanted more! It feels like a real treat to enjoy Khejur Gurer Rosogolla when Khejur Gur is usually only available in the winter. I'm sharing a recipe to make 20 Khejur Gur er Rosogolla, so it's easy to try at home.

Khejur Gurer Rosoholla- Helpful Tips

I used a heavy-bottomed pan to make these Rosogolla. You can also use a pressure cooker, which is actually easier. Making the chana (paneer) is simple. Two liters of milk will give you enough chana for about 20 Rosogolla.

Instructions

Making Chana / Cottage Cheese / Chenna at home:

• 
• Mix lemon juice with half a cup of slightly warm water. Set aside for making the Chana (Paneer).
• Mix half a cup of water with whole milk. Boil it in a thick-bottomed pot for about 7-8 minutes on medium heat.
• Turn off the heat. Slowly pour in the lemon water in two parts. After the first part, stir well with a spatula. Then add the rest of the lemon water.
• The milk will begin to separate into paneer and whey.
• Cover the pot and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, remove the lid and drain the whey from the paneer using a strainer.
• Do not rinse the Chana after separating it from the whey. Rinsing with cold water will make the paneer tough.
• Take the Chana and put it in the center of a cheesecloth. Gather and tie the edges of the cloth.
• Place the cloth-covered Chana on a flat surface. Put something heavy on top of it (like a grinding stone) for 10 minutes to remove extra water.
• After straining the cheesecloth, you'll have a flat block of fresh Chaana.

Kneading the Chana is Key for Great Roshogolla:

• 
• Kneading is very important for good Roshogolla. You need to knead the paneer/ Chenna until it's smooth to get soft Roshogolla.
• I used a plate and my palm to knead the cottage cheese or chana a little at a time (like in the picture).
• After kneading, add semolina and flour to the chana and knead again to mix well.
• Cover it with a cloth. Then, make the syrup before shaping the chana into balls.

Making the Syrup:

• To make the syrup for soaking the Roshogolla, we need a light syrup. I used date palm jaggery and sugar in a 2:1 ratio.
• Put about 6 cups of water in a big pot and bring it to a boil.
• Add the jaggery and sugar to the boiling water and cook on low heat until they're completely dissolved.
• This will take about 5 minutes. Have some extra water ready to add if the syrup gets too thick.
• Remove any unwanted bits that float to the surface of the syrup with a spoon.

Rosogolla - the final steps:

• Shape the chana into round balls. The chana from 2 liters of milk should make about 20-25 balls.
• Be sure the balls don't have any cracks.
• Put all the balls into the syrup at the same time. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes. It took me 40 minutes to cook the date palm jaggery rosogolla.
• You can also use a pressure cooker. Cook for about 8 minutes on low heat until you hear two whistles. After the two whistles, take off the weight and cook for 5 more minutes on low heat.
• I used a large 5-liter pot. If you don't have a big pan, cook the rosogolla in smaller groups.
