Rasabali
Rasabali (, IAST: rasābaḷi) is a sweet dish from Odisha, India. It consists of deep fried flattened reddish brown patties of chhena (farmer cheese) that are soaked in thickened, sweetened milk ( rabri). Flattening the chhena into palm-sized patties is done in order to allow them to absorb the milk more readily. The thickened milk is also usually lightly seasoned with crushed cardamom pods. Rasabali is offered to Baladevjew, and originated in the Baladevjew Temple of Kendrapara. It is one of the Chapana bhoga of Puri's Jagannath Temple. It received a GI tag on 3 October 2023.

Chhena Gaja
Chhena gaja () is a sweet dish from Balasore, Odisha, India. Unlike some other popular chhena-based Odia desserts, such as rasagola, which have spread throughout India, the chhena gaja remains largely popular within the state itself. Although the ingredients of chhena gaja are essentially the same as that of rasagola and chhena poda, the dishes are very different in taste. One of the best places to savor chhena gajas is Pahala, near Bhubaneswar. However, chhena gaja is equally popular all over Odisha. Preparation Chhena gajas are prepared by combining chhena, similar to cottage cheese, and sooji (semolina), and kneading the dough thoroughly. Water is squeezed out from the mixture, which is then dried briefly until it acquires the right consistency. It is then molded into palm-sized rectangular shapes (gajas), boiled in thick sugar syrup. Sometimes, the gajas are then allowed to dry a little more, in which case the sugar may occasionally crystallize on the surface. See ...

Cheese Desserts
Cheese is a type of dairy product produced in a range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk (usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats or sheep). During production, milk is usually acidified and either the enzymes of rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. The solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese. Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. Over a thousand types of cheese exist, produced in various countries. Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurised, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and how long they have been aged. Herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. Other added ingredients may include black pepper, garlic, chives or ...

Rasagolla
Rasgulla (literally "syrup filled ball") is a syrupy dessert popular in the eastern part of South Asia. It is made from ball-shaped dumplings of chhena dough, cooked in light sugar syrup. This is done until the syrup permeates the dumplings. While it is near-universally agreed upon that the dessert originated in the eastern Indian subcontinent, the exact locus of origin is disputed between locations such as West Bengal, and Odisha, where it is offered at the Puri Jagannath Temple. In 2017, when West Bengal got its rosogolla's geographical indication (GI) status, the Registry Office of India clarified that West Bengal was given GI status for Banglar rosogolla and Odisha can claim it too if they cite the place of origin of their variant along with colour, texture, taste, juice content and method of manufacturing. In 2019, the Government of Odisha was granted the GI status for "Odisha rasagola" (Odia rasagola). Names The dessert is in Bengali, and in Odia and in Sansk ...

Mahaprasad (Jagannath Temple)
Mahaprasad () refers to the sanctified food offered to Lord Jagannath in the Jagannath Temple, Puri, Odisha, India. It is an integral part of Jagannatha worship and a unique cultural tradition blending devotion, community, and culinary heritage. Revered as divine and egalitarian, Mahaprasad is consumed by devotees irrespective of caste, creed, or religion. Etymology The word Mahaprasad is derived from the Sanskrit roots ''maha'' (great) and ''prasāda'' (grace or offering). It signifies the highest form of divine grace received as food after being offered to the deity. Religious Significance In the Jagannatha tradition, food becomes Mahaprasad only after being offered first to Lord Jagannatha and then re-offered to Devi Bimala, a unique practice called Bimala Prasad. Only after this second offering is it deemed fit for devotees to consume. It is believed to possess spiritual potency and is consumed as a blessing, not merely food.
