About Rasbhari
Khoya and fresh chhena are kneaded together into a smooth dough and rolled into small balls. The balls are fried slowly so they cook through without browning too fast, then left to soak in a light sugar syrup until they are soft and full of it. That is where the name comes from: ras means syrup, bhari means filled.
If you like both gulab jamun and rasgulla and can't choose, this is the one to try.
Syrup sweets are best eaten fresh. Ask us on WhatsApp about packing if you want to take some home.
Questions about Rasbhari
What is Rasbhari made of?
Khoya and chhena kneaded together, rolled into balls, fried slowly and soaked in a light sugar syrup.
How is Rasbhari different from rasgulla?
Rasgulla is made from chhena alone and cooked in syrup, so it stays white and spongy. Rasbhari adds khoya to the chhena and is fried before it goes into the syrup, so it is richer and golden, closer to a gulab jamun.
What does Rasbhari taste like?
Customers describe it as a combination of gulab jamun and rasgulla: the richness of khoya with the softness of chhena, soaked in syrup.
