Rasabali (Odia: ରସାବଳୀ) is a deep-fried sweet that is particularly popular in India. You may find the authentic Rasavali in Kendrapara, Odisha. This is offered to Lord Baladevjew in Tulasi Kshetra.
Rasabali is a Baladevjew offering that originated in Kendrapara's Baladevjew Temple. And it is one of the Chapana bhoga at Sri Jagannath temple, Puri.
Rasabalee is made out of flattened reddish brown chhena (farmer cheese) patties that have been deep fried and soaked in thickened, sweetened milk (rabri).
The chhena is flattened into palm-sized patties to make it easier for them to absorb the milk. Crushed cardamoms are generally sprinkled on top of the thickened milk.
