Bhubaneswar: Odisha is honouring the unexpected dessert noted for its usual lingering taste for the first time, and Twitter is crowded with postings about it.
As per knowledge, Sudarshan Sahu, the owner of a sweet shop in Nayagarh's Dasapalla, placed sugar-infused chhena or cottage cheese with cardamon and cashew seasonings in a charcoal oven overnight and discovered an incomparably delectable delicacy the next morning, giving the state its particular identity and flavour. He gradually developed Chhena Poda, which translates to "burned cheese with a caramelised shell." He gave the cardamom-scented cottage cheesecake a distinct aroma by baking it wrapped in sal leaves.
It garnered him a lot of reputation throughout the years, and it was even praised by then-Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
Odias chose April 11 as the date to commemorate the dessert's creator's birth anniversary.
Chhena Poda is the state's most well-known sweetmeat and the star dessert among Odia sweet foods, with devotees from all over the world. At the Srimandir in Puri, it is also offered to Lord Jagannath. A GI labelling for the sweet dish has also been requested.
In 2018, it was featured on EPIC, a culture-focused television channel, in the Raja, Rasoi Aur Anya Kahaniyaan series, which explores the discovery of various Indian foods and their history and is hosted by renowned chef Ranveer Brar.
Netizens celebrate the day with a lot of energy and happiness.
