Kheer Chomchom or Malai Chomchom

Today for the first time I prepared one of a very famous Bengali Sweet it’s called Kheer Chomchom or Malai Chomchom. Almost in every shop in west Bengal you will get this sweet. Especially this is made with Chana or cottage cheese, sugar and Milk.  This sweet is famous in Bangladesh also.


This is December so full on festive season, I planned to make few different sweet dishes in this month.

And today I started with this Kheer Chomchom. Basically my husband forced me to prepare some sweet dish from last weekend, but any how I didn’t get time. But today I wanted to give him surprise so any how I managed to finish the chomchom within 1 hr before my daughter woke up and his comeback time.

But really can’t wait to taste the first piece of chomchom. Wow what a taste, it reminded me the childhood days of mine, when we used to have this one in my aunt’s place Murshidabad.
