chum chum recipe | cham cham sweet recipe | chomchom recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. it is believed that chomchom dessert originated from porabari, tangail, bangladesh but it is hugely popular in eastern india too. the texture and recipe is very similar to rasgulla or even rasmalai but has a unique taste of its own by stuffing mawa or khoya in between. typically is coated with dedicated coconut powder as a last step and decorated with cherries or tutti frutties.

i have already shared the famous rasmalai and rasgulla recipe which is partially prepared with the same procedure and texture. however chum chum recipe is unique by itself and is not juicy as compared to the former. also cham cham sweet recipe is not served with sugar syrup like rasgulla and the sweetness is due to the mawa stuffing in between split cham cham. further before serving, it is delicately rolled on dedicated coconut powder with a cherry or tutti fruties topping on khoya.

furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a perfect cham cham sweet recipe. firstly, i heavily recommend to use full cream cows milk for this recipe and it typically yields more creamy chenna. buffalo milk is not recommend for chum chum recipe or to any bengali milk based sweets. secondly, i have added maida or plain flour to the prepared chenna and it helps to give a proper shape and stiffens to chomchom. however if you do not prefer maida, than semolina/rava or sooji can also be added. lastly, you can also add kesar before curdling the milk to prepare kesar or yellow chomchom.

finally i have posted several other indian sweet recipes in my blog. i request you to check kalakand, kesar peda, mohanthal, bread rasmalai, malpua, kala jamun, besan ladoo and badam burfi recipe. in addition do check my other recipes collection from my blog like,
