Langcha, also known as Lengcha or Lencha, is a popular Bengali Cuisine sweet made from fried chhena (cottage cheese) dumplings soaked in sweet sugar syrup. The chhena is mixed with mawa, semolina, and flour to form a smooth dough. The dough is then shaped into small pieces and deep-fried until golden. After frying, the langchas are soaked in a cardamom-flavoured sugar syrup, which makes them soft and sweet. It is one of the most delicious dessert recipes and a traditional treat, perfect for special occasions.
