Chhena Rajbhog is a syrupy dessert popular in the Indian subcontinent and regions with South Asian diaspora. It is made from Chhena (an Indian cottage cheese) ball stuffed with fry fruits and saffron, sometime we also use khoya for stuffing, cooked in light syrup made of sugar with saffron flavor. This is done until the syrup permeates the Chhena balls. This is considered as one of the Royal sweets in India.
