“Sunday ho ya Monday, roz khao ande!”
The very word ‘egg’ brings a smile on our faces. Anything prepared with egg is ‘eggs-iting’and ‘eggs-tremely’ satisfying to our taste buds. Egg itself is a whole food, filled with nutrition.
Fusion cuisine originated in India with the merge of local ingredients and imported methods. The Portuguese introduced the art of cheese making in Bengal. Krishna Chandra Das, the forefather of the confectionary Empire K.C.Das Grandsons, was the creator of the lip-smacking Rasmalai in the early 20s. Again the sweet maker “Matri Bhandar” in Comilla district of Bangladesh also claims to be the creator of Rasmalai. Though it is impossible to verify the origin we can always savour this dessert with utmost love.
There are different variations of Rasmalai found in different parts of our country. Chhena (made from milk) is used to make Rasmalai. It is soft and crumbly in texture. Chhena is mostly used in Bengali and North-eastern desserts.
AND when egg is combined to Rasmalai to make ’EGG RASMALAI’, it is taken to a completely different level of fusion dessert! The gifted and expert chef Sandeep Das is here with his fusion dessert ‘EGG RASMALAI’!
