Gurer Sondesh is a famous Bengali sweet made from chhena (fresh cottage cheese) and nolen gur (date palm jaggery). It is a winter delicacy in Bangladesh, as nolen gur is mainly available during the colder months.
Key Features of Gurer Sondesh:
1. Rich & Aromatic Flavor: The date palm jaggery adds a deep caramel-like sweetness and a distinct aroma.
2. Soft & Melt-in-the-Mouth Texture: Depending on the recipe, it can be slightly grainy or extremely smooth.
3. Healthy Alternative: Compared to regular sugar-based sweets, nolen gur is considered a healthier sweetener with a unique taste.
