India's 'Ras Malai' Earned Second Spot In The '10 Best Cheese Desserts' Globally

India's cherished dessert, ras malai, has earned the second spot in Taste Atlas' ranking (Traditional Food Awards) of the '10 Best Cheese Desserts' globally. Originating from West Bengal, this delightful sweet is surpassed only by Poland's sernik, a baked cheesecake crafted with twarog cheese. It is a popular Indian dessert, a spongy and creamy delight made from cottage cheese called 'chhena' discs cooked in sugar syrup and soaked in cardamom-flavored sweet milk syrup known as 'rabdi'. The name comes from the Bengali words ''ras,'' which means juice, and ''malai,'' which means cream. Ras malai is known for its delicate cheese dumplings soaked in saffron-infused milk syrup and originates from West Bengal. It is also popular in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
