Cham cham, Chomchom or chum chum (Bengali: চমচম) is a traditional Bengali sweet, popular throughout the Indian subcontinent. The sweet comes in a variety of colors, mainly light pink, light yellow, and white. It is coated with coconut or mawa flakes as a garnish.

History

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

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

Chomchom is a popular item in Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha, Ashura, Pohela Boishak, the Bengali new year, and Durga Puja.
