Kachagolla and Banalata Sen are two famous thing and person respectively in Natore district.
Some one may say Natore is famous for Kachagolla. On the contrary Someone might say, Natore is famous for Banalata Sen.
Well, I am going to debate on the matter that Natore is famous for whether Kachagolla or Banalata Sen.
Today I would like to describe about Kachagolla. Another day I will come with Banalata Sen too.

Kachagolla is a kind of sweet which is made from Milk.
This special sweet had been invented about 250 years ago.
There is a hearsay about the history of it.

There was a confectioner named Modhusudan in Natore. He supplied his sweets to the Rajbari (The Home of King). One-day his all workers were absent due to their illness but he made casein from milk at night to make sweet in this morning. That day it was impossible to make sweet for him alone. Again, If he don't make sweet then the casein will unusable. So, he decided to make the casein warm with sugar's juice. After he did so, he had its taste and he was pleased with it's yemmy taste. He then sent the new item of sweet to the King's home with fearing.

The then King also became pleased with the new sweet's taste and asked, what is the name of this sweet? The confectioner  Modhusudon says it's name is Kachagolla as it is not soaked in hot oil.
Then the king ordered him to make this sweet everyday.

In 1760 at time of Rani Bhabani, the fame of Kachagolla spread all over the world.

People of Bangladesh and West Bengal in India are pond of Kanchagolla. Apart from they people who once had got taste of it he/she fallen in love on Kachagolla.
