Rosh Bora Dessert, a popular sweet from Bengali
Rosh Bora, also known as Rosbora, is a popular sweet in Bengali Cuisine that is basically a soft moist fritter soaked in a sweet Sugar syrup. It looks like Gulab Jamun but it has some differences because it is made from Semolina Flour (Rava or Rulan Flour). You can make this quickly using only a few ingredients and there is no need for the dough to rise. It's a tasty dessert for special occasions.
