There are all kinds of other 'new' or seasonal treats - like this baked #sandesh (with #NolenGur of course) - [pic1] and the famed 'Joynogor-er moa' (moa from Joynagar; made with a special khoi or popped/puffed rice and shaped into balls) [pic2]
Tried the first but skipped the 2nd (those I find rather sweet)

Here's the wiki entry for Joynagarer Moa with info on nolen gur if you are interested

Bought a couple of other specialties - more on those at lunch...

And the winter specialty in #Kolkata and #Bengal is date palm syrup (not date syrup, but the sap - as in maple syrup) and the boiled down sugar/jaggery from that used to sweeten. You can buy the #NolenGur or #JholaGur (liquid) in jars and the blocks/discs of patali gur or jaggery (pic1).
Winter brings gur sweetened #sandesh
- sweets made with sweetened chenna - fresh soft cheese - compressed and shaped in traditional conch and palm fruit shapes set out in trays (pics 2-4)

but the best (next)
