Ras Gulla is a traditional Indian dessert that originated in the eastern region of India. The soft and spongy cheese balls are dipped in a sugar syrup that gives the dessert its distinct sweet taste. Ras Gulla is popular among people of all ages and is served at parties, weddings, and special occasions. The dessert is also considered lucky if it is served with the auspicious color of saffron infused in the sugar syrup on the Diwali festivity or on any other occasion like Holi.
