The Sweet Maker worked the entire day and made some beautiful Shondesh for him. As the clock struck past Zamindar’s scheduled time of arrival he starting worrying about his sweets. He got worried that the Shondesh would go bad. So, in an effort to save his Shondesh, he decided to coat the Chodesh in a Sugar syrup so that it stays for a long time. When the Zamindar returned home and the Sweet Maker served him this sweet that he had made. The Zamindar took a bite and he was just blown away by its taste. He said – this is “Monohora” – “This is something that Stole my Heart”! Since then Monohora has spread all over the world.
