History

Chomchom Originated from Tangail District.[1] Chamcham, an oval-shaped brownish variety of chomchom from Porabari in Tangail District of modern-day Bangladesh, dates back to mid-19th century.[2] The unique taste has been attributed to the water in Porabari.[3]

Jagadish Mishtanno Bhandar in Khustia District makes a version known as Maowar Chomchom.[4]

Chomchom is a popular item in Pohela Boishak, the Bengali new year, and Durga Puja.[5][6]
