Rosogolla or, Rossogolla (রসগোল্লা)
Bengali words rasa meaning a syrup; and gōllā meaning a globular sweetmeat, jointly created the name
dictionaries do not contain this word.West Bengal's defense to establish the ownership of Rosogolla
West Bengal has taken up legal battle with Odisha recently,[6] after Odisha claimed that rosogolla was invented in Puri, as the special prasad for the Lord Jagannath and Mahalaxmi.
The West Bengal government is likely to submit its claim to the GI office in Delhi on August 24, 2015. Scientists of West Bengal have prepared documents in its defense, reasoning that the Dutch had brought the technique of curdling milk by using lactic acid and Bengal picked it up from them, in addition to that, traditional use of chhana in making sweets prevalent only in Bengal. Finally, the strongest point in its defense is, that the very word rosogolla was coined in Bengal and not in Odisha, hence, Odisha cannot have any ownership on the name.
