Ashutosh Sen set up a small and humble sweet shop at Fariapukur Street in 1897 and named it ‘Sen Mahasay’. It was his hobby to make different types of sweets, although he was not a professional confectioner. Some of his creations are ‘Ratabi Sandesh’, ‘Pink Pera’, ‘Malai Chop’ and ‘Abar Khabo’. All these sweets were remarkable for their novelty and taste and are still popular in west Bengal. |
