I have to be honest. I’ve only ever eaten this already made and I’ve never attempted to cook it myself. If I were to, however, it would be with Manjula. She really knows what she’s doing!

Rasgulla (Oriya: Rasagolla; Bangla: রসগোল্লা Rôshogolla [ˈrɔʃoˌgolːa]; Hindi: Rasgulla) is a dessert from Orissa and Bengal consisting of balls of unripened cheese or cottage cheese (chenna) soaked in a sugary syrup.

People who know me also know that there are certain countries and cultures I’m very intrigued by. India, Italy, Australia, Japan and New Zealand pop up first in my mind. The odd thing is of them all New Zealand really doesn’t get enough coverage; just a bit under Australia, which doesn’t get enough exposure either.

So I’m going crazy ( crazier ) trying to find some good traditional/indigenous/one of a kind food footage and recipes from Aotearoa. In the process I found this:

It’s a traditional Maori hangi. Basically, it’s building a giant firepit, heating up rocks in the fire, cooking food in covered baskets, and chowing down. Feasting, friends, and good times are universal.

Now that’s what I’m talking about!…….well, in theory. The details need a bit smoothing.

I adore how the poor woman is so very incompetent to the point of needing the definition for “stir” explained to her. Poor dear!

I shall give credit to this little rough-edged gem, tho. They mention jelly making, an art which is unfortunatly on the wan these days. What a pity, ach?
