作法
- 做 chenna：牛奶煮滾後轉中小火，邊攪邊慢慢加入檸檬汁，牛奶會凝結、乳清分離。再攪拌 60 秒。
- 倒入鋪好棉布的篩網過濾，以冷水沖洗 chenna 30 秒去除檸檬味。把布綁起來懸掛瀝水 30 分鐘——chenna 應略濕但不至於乾透。
- 把 chenna 放在乾淨工作檯上，用掌根揉 8 分鐘——chenna 會從顆粒狀變成滑順略黏。揉的程度是乳酪球技術核心；揉得不夠就會做出緊實、不會膨脹的球。
- 加入粗麥粉略揉。把 chenna 分成 12 等份，掌心搓成滑順無裂紋的球——有裂紋就會在糖漿中散掉。
- 寬底厚鍋將糖與水煮滾，糖漿應略稠但不到太濃。chenna 球小心放入。
- 蓋鍋以中大火煮 15 分鐘——球應膨脹至三倍、浮上表面。輕輕攪動一兩次。撒入小荳蔻粉與玫瑰水。在糖漿中放涼至室溫。室溫或冷藏皆可，糖漿就是醬汁。

Can 孟加拉糖漿乳酪球 be scaled up or down?
This recipe is written for 12 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
Roshogolla 是孟加拉甜點史上最具爭議的一道——孟加拉與西孟加拉都聲稱自己發明。據說 1868 年由加爾各答甜點店主 Nobin Chandra Das 創出。「濕」風格（浸糖漿）是孟加拉版；乾的 rasmalai 是另一道菜。孟加拉版本通常比加爾各答版略不甜。兩國都已申請地理標示保護。
