Sooji ke Chamcham | Sweet sooji bites
Sooji ke chamcham ( सूजी के चमचम ) is a delicious and tempting sweet recipe. Chamcham is a famous authentic Bengali dish that is generally made with fresh panner or chenna. But here in this recipe, I have used sooji in place of paneer. Chamcham sweet has many varities. It can be made with lots of colourful stuffing and garnishing. You can easily find white chum chum and pink chum chum. I have tried a different variation. It is also known as chom chom.
First Sooji is cooked with milk and then mixed with milk powder. Give them shape like oval, round or cylindrical. I have made them in so many different shapes to make attractive. After this, fry on low flame till they become golden brown in colour. These golden colored soft cham cham are dipped in sugar syrup that is flavored with cardamom powder & kesar. This Indian dessert is sinfully rich and delicious that you will be definitely tempted to eat.
Cham cham can be prepared on every special occasion like festivals, wedding and parties. Sooji ke cham cham are so soft that they will melt in your mouth. There are difference in texture and taste of sooji cham cham in comparison with traditional sweet but the aromatic flavor of desi ghee and cardamom make it yummy.
