Langcha Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Langcha is a popular sweet dish from the Indian state of West Bengal. It is made by deep-frying a dough made from chhena (cottage cheese) and semolina, and then soaking it in a sugar syrup. The langchas are soft and spongy on the inside and have a slightly crispy texture on the outside. They are often flavored with cardamom and garnished with chopped nuts. Langcha is a delightful dessert that is perfect for special occasions or as a sweet treat anytime.
