Chomchom

Food Confidence: medium

Chomchom is a traditional Bengali confection crafted from chhena (curdled milk) shaped into small cylindrical or oval forms, cooked in sugar syrup and often coated with coconut flakes. It is consistently listed among Kolkata's must-try Bengali sweets and is a popular festive and wedding treat. The soft, syrupy little sweets are a classic sweet-shop purchase in the city. Buyers get an easy-to-carry, shelf-stable sweet that is easy to gift.

Typical price: ₹100-400

Buying tip: Pick it up from any established sweet shop in the market lanes; it travels well, so it is one of the better sweets to buy as a takeaway gift.
