What happens when chocolate is added to a traditional sweet like Rasgulla? In the ever-evolving world of fusion cuisine, culinary lovers are constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and creativity. A viral video currently circulating online features a new twist on the classic Rasgulla – it shows one making “Chocolate Rasgulla”. A traditional milk-based sweet, Rasgulla is loved during festive occasions across India. While we have seen variations like rasmalai and baked rasgulla, this latest twist brings a new take to the traditional dish.
In the video titled “Chocolate Rasgulla is being made”, the creator starts by showing some containers of Cadbury hot chocolate. Further ahead, the confectioner is seen pouring milk from several packets into a container. This milk is then transferred to a large churning machine, where it is boiled. After boiling, the milk is filtered through white muslin cloth and put into a separate container. Curd setting powder is then mixed into the milk, which is left to curdle. Once the milk is released from the chhena, it is kneaded until it becomes smooth.

Before final mixing, chocolate powder is added to the mixture, which is then rolled into small balls. These chocolate and white balls are cooked in sugar syrup until they become spongy. Once cooked, they are transferred to a separate bowl of sugar syrup which is kept away from heat. And just like that, Chocolate Rasgulla is ready to enjoy.
The caption of the video mentions that each chocolate rasgulla costs Rs 20. The content creator also tagged the location of the store, stating that it is available at Nathu Sweets in Dubai Mall, Ghaziabad.
