Bengali Langcha Recipe With Mawa
Bengali Langcha Recipe is one of the popular sweet recipes native to West Bengal. Especially, Durga Puja is incomplete without a plethora of sweet and savoury recipes and the Langcha is one of these. In West Bengal district of Bardhaman a town called Shaktigarh is famous for this sweet. Generally we need to make cottage cheese out of milk and then the cottage cheese dough shaped into oblong and then deep fried in ghee or oil until golden brown before being dunked into sugar syrup. This Langcha that I have made is a shortcut recipe; instead of cottage cheese, I have used milk, mawa, milk powder, semolina, and all purpose flour to make this dish though it tastes the same as its counterpart from traditional sweet stall.
