Kheersagar

Kheersagar

Kheersagar is a popular Oriya sweet dish that literally translates to "Oceans of Milk" in the Oriya language. The dish is very popular in coastal Orissa.

Preparation

Kheersagar consists of marble-sized balls of chhena cheese soaked in sweetened, condensed milk. Saffron and cardamoms are the typical seasonings that are added to this dish. Kheersagar is typically served either at room temperature or slightly chilled.

This dish is very similar to another Oriya favorite, Rasmalai, and probably the latter's predecessor. However, the milk base in kheersagar is thicker, acquiring the consistency of Rabri.
