Ledikeni

Ledikeni (Bengali: লেডিকেনি) or Lady Kenny is a popular Bengali sweet consumed in West Bengal, India and Bangladesh. It is a light fried reddish-brown sweet ball made of Chhena and flour, soaked in sugar syrup. Ledikeni is named after Lady Canning, the first vicereine of India and the wife of Charles Canning, the Governor General of India during 1856–62. It is very similar to pantua, another popular Bengali sweet.
