PETHA

Petha is a translucent soft candy from the Indian subcontinent made from ash gourd or white pumpkin, or simply petha in Hindi and Urdu.
Ash gourds, commonly referred to as white pumpkins, are a vegetable with a pale-green exterior and white, heavily-seeded, savoury inside that is used to make petha.
The sweets are abundant in bright rows in the sweet shops along the popular tourist route that leads to the Taj’s entrance.
