Bangladeshi Chhana Roshogolla
Spongy chhana sweets cooked in light syrup with fine semolina. Makes about 18–20 pieces.

Knead and shape the balls

Ready to continue when: The mixture is smooth and the balls have no visible cracks.

Make the syrup
Put the water and sugar in a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and bubbles just begin to form. Before adding the balls, let the syrup become hot but not vigorously boiling.
Ready to continue when: The sugar has dissolved and the first bubbles are visible; the syrup is hot but not vigorously boiling.
