Ojassa

Ojassa is a traditional Indian sweet dish, originating from the state of Karnataka. It is a popular dessert, particularly during festivals and special occasions. The name "Ojassa" is derived from the Kannada words "Oj" meaning sugar and "Jassa" meaning to boil or cook. The dish is made from a mixture of jaggery, ghee, and milk, which is then boiled together until it thickens into a semi-solid consistency. This mixture is then poured into small molds or cups, which are then cooled and stored. Ojassa is typically served chilled and is known for its rich, sweet flavor and creamy texture. It is often garnished with nuts and dried fruits for added flavor and presentation. The dish is not only a popular treat in Karnataka but also enjoyed in other parts of India, particularly during festivals like Diwali and Navratri.
