Putiram SweetsPutiram Sweets is synonymous with `Raj Bhog` (enlarged and enriched version of Rosogolla) and salty food. The word `Raj Bhog` literally means `royal meal`. This is so named because it is a quintessential sweet and prepared in a grand way. A divine odour is emitted from the petals of roses, which are then specially processed with about fifteen different ingredients. Then it is boiled thoroughly. It is more than a normal Rosogolla in a container of syrup. This makes it `Raj Bhog` in the real sense of the term. `Putiram Sweets` has virtually made this `Raj Bhog` and `Dal Puri` as his forte. It goes without saying that `Raj Bhog` is an unparalleled sweetmeat of Bengal of which she is justifiably proud.

CHOP SANDESH - This is not the fried, salty and hot stuff that flashes in one`s mind at the utterance of the name. `Chop Sandesh` is an unique sweetmeat but resembles a chop apparently. Hence, it is so named.

BISCUIT SANDESH - It is flat and looks akin to a biscuit and tastes very similar as well. But it is a type of `Sandesh`.

AAM SANDESH - Aam Sandesh is very palatable. The word `Aam` means mango and the sweet is so named because it tastes and smells like a ripe mango.
