This variety of Moa originated in Jaynagar city of South 24 Parganas district in the Indian State of West Bengal. It is now a popular sweet, being produced in Kolkata and elsewhere, sometimes with cheaper ingredients and chemical flavours.[1] Jaynagarer Moa was given a Geographical Indication tag in 2015 which will enable the product to be protected from unauthorized uses and piracy.[2] HistoryJaynagarer Moa is made with Nolen Gur (jaggery made from date palm tree extract with exquisite taste and aroma), Kanakchur khoi (a form of popped rice made from a special variety of aromatic rice), Gawa ghee (a type of clarified butter made from cow's milk), elach (cardamom), and posto (poppy seed). Both Nolen Gur and Kanakchur rice are winter products (available around November to January) and hence Jaynagarer Moa is available during this period only.[1] The ordinary or common Moa is a small crispy ball made of puffed rice ("Muri" rather than "Khoi") and jaggery. It is produced in homes all over Bengal and is also generally available in grocery shops in small plastic packets, throughout the year. There are over 250 sweetmeat shops around Jaynagar city, which produce Jaynagarer Moa with the original ingredients. The Jaynagarer Moa manufacturers in Jaynagar city had been attempting to get Geographical Indication status for Jaynagarer Moa.[3][4] ChallengesThe popularity of the dish has led in recent years to sweetmeat makers all over West Bengal, particularly Kolkata, producing large quantities of Jaynagarer Moa using cheaper ingredients flavoured with chemical aromatics and marketing them as Jaynagarer Moa.[3] Date palm jaggery is becoming harder to come by due to the decrease in the number of date palms in West Bengal and the shift of members of the Shiuli community, traditional producers of "Nolen Gur" from date palm juice, to other professions. Similarly, Kanakchur rice is a local variant which grows only in winter and through traditional fertiliser-free techniques only.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite web| url = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Dont-go-by-flavour-its-not-Joynagarer-moa/articleshow/18012560.cms |title = Don't go by flavour, it's not Jaynagarer Moa|last=Chakraborty|first= Monotosh | publisher= The Times of India, 14 January 2013 | accessdate = 2013-02-15}} {{South 24 Parganas topics}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.com/city/kolkata/Special-packaging-for-Joynagar-Moa/articleshow/50798946.cms |title=Special packaging for Jaynagarer Moa ? |publisher=Times of India |date=2016-02-01 |accessdate=2016-02-03}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web| url = http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-03-15/kolkata/28011284_1_patent-office-darjeeling-tea-gi-product |title =Jaynagarer Moa may be patented|last= Mukherji|first= Udit Prasanna | publisher= The Times of India, 15 March 2009| accessdate = 8 December 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://ipindiaservices.gov.in/GI_DOC/382/382%20-%20Form%20GI-1%20-%2010-05-2012.pdf|title=Application for registration of a geographical indication by Jaynagarer Moa Nirmankari Society|accessdate=8 December 2014}} 5 : Sweets of West Bengal|Bengali cuisine|Indian desserts|South 24 Parganas district|Geographical Indications in West Bengal |
