Rasgulla was first invented by the sweet makers (or moira in Bengali) of Puri, the famous temple town in Orissa. In the mid 19th century Oriya cooks were hired at the rich Bengali households and with them, arrived the coveted recipe of rasogolla.

The rasgulla originated in Orissa, where it is also known by its original name, Khira mōhana. Rasgulla is usually served at room temperature or chilled. A popular variant in Orissa and Bengal is freshly prepared hot rasgullas.
In Orissa, it is not uncommon to embed a single raisin or cashew inside each rasgulla. Cardamom seeds may also be embedded to create a fragrant version. In northern India, the dish comes flavored in saffron, rosewater, and sometimes garnished with chopped pistachios. Pudding most often refers to a dessert.
