Celebrate Bengali New Year With Rosogolla & Kesar Laddu

Celebrate Bengali New Year with Rosogolla & Kesar Laddu

It is a tradition in Bengal for people to celebrate the Bengali New Year or “Poila Boisakh”, as it is called, by exchanging “Subho Noboborsho” wishes with each other. On this day, if guests visit a home, they are treated with mouth-watering sweets over “Adda” sessions. 

So, if you are a foodie, you will look forward to the rasgulla tins and kesar laddus.  

It is also a day for “Haal-khata”, a festival celebrated by merchants (especially Bengali merchants), traders and shopkeepers by opening a new ledger. They invite their customers and offer them sweets like small boondi laddus with squash and so on. 

And when it comes to sweets and snacks, the name “Prabhuji” is a leader. Their rasgullas are one of a kind. They also take rasgulla online orders

How the Rasgullas Evolved
Rasgullas are centuries old. It is probably the most popular sweet for celebrations and festive occasions. No wonder that it is offered as a delicacy on Poila Baisakh. However, Rasgullas were there even in the times of Sree Chaitanya. Though it is certain that rasgullas were invented in the eastern part of India, there was a major dispute between West Bengal and Orissa as to their origin. Ultimately both states had their way when The GI tag differentiated the rasgullas as "Banglara's Rasgulla” and “Orissa Rasgulla.

Since in this blog we are talking about celebrating the Bengali New Year, we will confine ourselves to “Banglar Rasgulla’. 

There was a time when rasgullas were sold only in shops and confectioneries. Not anymore! Even outside of Bengal, where people celebrate Poila Baisakh, there is a demand for rasgullas. Even NRIs want to celebrate the Bengali New Year with Rasgullas. As a result, now rasgulla tins are available that keep the sweets fresh for a long time for them to be ordered in advance to celebrate Poila Baisakh outside of Bengal. 

Ordering Rasgullas Online
Banglar Rasgullas have a timeless taste. They are soft and spongy. People eat them with relish. They are made of pure chenna and soaked in sugar syrup. If you taste these rasgullas, you will not choose another confectionery apart from the Prabhuji brand ever again. 

Prabhuji also provides the option of ordering rasgullas online. You can order for yourself and your family or send a rasagulla tin as a gift to friends and relatives on the occasion of Poila Baisakh. They will absolutely love it and appreciate you. 

If you order online, you can even choose the gift wrapping, which comes in standard and premium versions, depending upon how you want to impress. 

The best part is that a tin of rasgullas from Prabhuji is not expensive, though it sounds expensive. 

The Festive Charm of Kesar Laddu
Some people who celebrate the Bengali New Year may probably find rasgullas overwhelmingly sweet to taste. For them, something different but equally pure, like kesar laddus and small boondi laddus, are a good option.

Kesar laddus are made of gram flour, clarified sugar, edible vegetable oil, glucose, cashew, pistachio, almond, raisin, cardamom and saffron. To say that kesar laddus are delicious will say very little about them. You've got to taste them to describe them.

Boondi laddus are made from tiny boondi. Jaggery syrup is poured on the boondi. Next, they are rolled into soft, sweet round globes. 

On taking a bite, you taste the sweetness, and the laddu melts in your mouth. One great thing about Prabhuji’s boondi laddus is that they are freshly prepared. No stale stock. This produces the authentic taste of a homemade sweet. Laddus are perfect as a special treat on the occasion of Poila Boisakh. 

Which one is better for Poila Baisakh - A tin of Rasgulla or Kesar Laddu?
This is a matter of choice, which varies from person to person. Many families prefer to treat their guests with rasgullas on Poila Baisakh, while some others prefer Kesar laddus. If you have a traditional mindset, you will probably like rasgullas more. 

On the other hand, if you are the "exploring" type, you may want to try something new on Poila Baisakh, like Kesar laddus. However, if you have invited guests on Poila Boisakh, we suggest you buy both a tin of rasgullas and a packet of Kesar Laddus. 

Laddus fit naturally into celebration modes, while rasgullas are eaten all year round. So our choice lies with Laddus. But please don't be disheartened, as both Laddus and Rasgullas from brand Prabhuji bring the same spirit to the fore.  

Poila Baisakh - A festival that Unites People
Poila Boishakh is about new beginnings and cherished moments. It's these moments that make life joyous. Prabhuji’s rasgulla tin and kesar laddus make these moments worth remembering. 
Poila Baisakh with rasgullas make the day special. With any other sweet, people may like them or they may not like them but Rasgullas are time tested. Most people like them - the reason why it is such a popular choice while celebrating the Bengali New Year. And when it comes to snacks and sweets, brand Prabhuji stands out from the crowd.
