Rosbora

Rosbora is one of the most common sweet dishes prepared in a traditional Bengali household. Made with sweet potato (or shakarkandi), this dish is soft, juicy and is quite similar to the texture of vada (of dahi vada). Find the recipe below (with ingredients):

Boil, de-skin and mash 3-4 sweet potaoes.

Add 2-3 tablespoon of rice flour/maida to the mashed potatoes and bind them together to make soft dough.

Make small balls out of the dough and fry them in oil (like pakoda).

Finally dunk the pakodas in a chasni, made with sugar and elaichi powder.

Prepare these vegetable-based sweets at home and satisfy you sweet-tooth anytime you want.
