Sarpuria

Sarpuria is a sweet confection originating from West Bengal, India, specifically from the district of Krishnanagar in Nadia. It is a traditional sweet, primarily made from khoa (reduced milk solids), sugar, and semolina (suji). The sarpuria is known for its flaky texture on the outside and a soft, creamy inside. It is typically prepared by layering the khoa and semolina mixture, often with a filling of more khoa or other flavorings, and then baking or slow-cooking the sweet to achieve its characteristic texture and taste. The preparation process is meticulous and requires skill to achieve the correct balance of textures and flavors. Sarpuria is a popular sweet during festivals and special occasions in West Bengal.
