Rossogolla legend K C Das cans his sweet creations in Kolkata

From the archive record

Both the Rasgulla and K C Das, the Kolkata firm that popularised the sweetmeat around the world by first selling it in cans, are the family heirlooms of Dhiman Das, who comes from the lineage of Nobin Chandra Das, the inventor of Rasgulla, and his son Krishna Chandra Das (K C Das), after whom the company is named. In the past over 150 years, rasgulla has captured the imagination of the sweet-toothed Bengali, who now considers no wedding or festival or feast as complete without the sweetmeat in the menu. Besides, rasgulla travelled the world after it was canned in 1930 by K C Das, who took over the business from his father N C Das.
