Sometimes
the
people of India preserve their fresh milk by making it
into a fresh cheese called Paneer.
They also preserve their milk by concentrating it over heat and mixing it with creams (called Khoa) and sweets (called Chenna).
Roshan Kumar says : "Rosogolla is a very popular sweet from the Indian state of Bengal, which is especially known for its sweets.
I loved it as a kid and still eat them like a glutton - :) even now, though I'm not very old, just 24.....
Here's the recipe.....Cheers"
