There has been a long and heated debate about who invented the rasgullas as we know it. Odisha and West Bengal have been at loggerheads about this topic and they both claim that they were ones to give to the world the famous Rasgullas. Some claim that it was the year 1868 in Kolkata when Nobin Chandra Das, also known as the 'Columbus of Rasgulla' invented rasgullas. While some say that the ‘Odisha Rasagola’ is associated with the prasaadam offered at Puri Jagannath Temple.
