Kamalabhog Recipe

Kamalabhog is a signature Bengali orange flavored dessert which is a distant cousin of Roshogolla and first cousin of Rajbhog! In this dessert, the cheese ball should not be spongy like Roshogolla. Ideally, it should be heavy and with a stuffing. The heaviness comes from Semolina aka Suji. Commercially original orange is not used in making the mishti, instead, orange essence and food color are used.

Recipe Notes

The chana should not be moist. If you are using homemade chana place the weight over it for more than an hour. The same is applicable for store-bought chana as well.Measure the Chana, not the milk.Use the orange essence in the dough as well as in the syrup. By doing that you will skip the moisture from the orange.Orange zest is must though.For every 100g chana/ paneer without moisture, you need ½ Tbsp. Semolina.While making the syrup, you may add orange juice or whole orange. If adding orange juice, replace an equal amount of water.Orange food color to be used in the dough as well as in the syrup.
