Rasgulla is a very sweet milk-based dessert, enjoyed in festivals and auspicious occasions like Diwali, Eid, and Navratri. Homemade Rasgulla is usually made up of powdered milk, a pinch of all-purpose flour (optional), baking powder, and clarified butter (ghee); kneaded to form a dough, molded into balls, deep-fried, and dropped into the simmering sugar syrup.
