Who invented Rasagulla?

Till today the word Rasagulla reminded me of the beautiful land where wonderfull people like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda  etc are associated. But its going to change from today on the people of Odisha are the inventors of this wonderful sweet.
It has been a traditional Oriya dish for centuries. Its the modesty of people from Odisha they don't take credit of inventing this wonderful dish. 

The actual rasagulla cannot survive for more than a day. It was modified to alter its lifespan by a bengali named Nobin Chandra Das in 1800's. Later Mr. K.C. Das started canning them and made them accessible all over India. But the origin of actual rasagulla remains Odisha.

The Indian space agency, ISRO is developing dehydrated rasgullas for Indian astronauts in its planned manned mission in 2016.
