पेठा मिठाई / Petha Mithai : शुद्ध देसी खांड से निर्मित – 1kg

Petha Made with Desi Khand

Petha is one of India’s oldest and most loved sweets. Most petha in the market is made in refined sugar syrup, but ours is made in pure desi khand. That gives it a light, earthy sweetness with a true desi taste.

How Petha Is Made

✔ Choosing the ash gourd: Ripe, fresh ash gourds (petha kaddu) are selected.
✔ Peeling and cutting: The skin and seeds are removed and the flesh is cut into even pieces. The pieces are pricked with a fork so the syrup can soak in deeply.
✔ Soaking in lime water: The pieces are soaked for a few hours in edible lime water. This keeps the petha from breaking while cooking and gives it a light crunch outside and a juicy inside. The pieces are then washed thoroughly in clean water several times.
✔ Boiling: The washed pieces are boiled in water until soft.
✔ Cooking in desi khand syrup: A syrup of pure desi khand is prepared and the pieces are cooked in it on a low flame until they soak up the syrup and turn translucent.
✔ Drying: The cooked petha is lifted out of the syrup, cooled and lightly dried so a thin sweet coating sets on top.

Why Desi Khand

Desi khand is made from sugarcane juice in the traditional way and is not heavily refined like white sugar. It has a light brownish colour and an earthy taste that gives petha its desi flavour.
