Jilipi, Mishti Doi, Roshogolla and Sandesh Any eating occasion of any kind in Kolkata remains incomplete without trying any of the myriad sweet delicacies that the city is famous for. First in that list would certainly be Mishti Doi or sugar sweetened thick yoghurt typically sold in terracotta clay cups or bhaanr. Jalebi or Jilipi as you will hear it called in Kolkata are the spiral crispy fried pieces dipped in sugar syrup and you will get the best taste if you eat it piping hot. For the quintessential Bengali experience, one must eat a Roshogolla, round balls of Indian cottage cheese cooked in light sugar syrup. The assortments of Sandesh, a milk based dessert in a sweet shop can take your breath away. Kolkata is chock a block with sweet shops selling these and a mind boggling variety of other sweets or mishtis. So if you possess a sweet tooth, stop by at Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick in Bhawanipore or K.C. Das at Esplanade to try a delicious sweetmeat. #desserts #sweets #kolkata
