Kesar petha is a popular sweet from the Indian city of Agra, which is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is a type of candied ash gourd that is flavored with saffron and is often served as a dessert.
Petha is made from ash gourd, which is a type of winter melon. The melon is peeled, deseeded, and cut into small pieces, which are then boiled in a sugar syrup until they become translucent and absorb the sweetness of the syrup. Saffron and other flavorings like cardamom or rose water are added to the syrup to give it a distinct taste and aroma.
Kesar petha has a chewy texture and a sweet, floral flavor that is often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. It is a popular souvenir for tourists visiting Agra and is also commonly gifted during festivals and special occasions.
In addition to kesar petha, there are many other varieties of petha available, including plain, chocolate, and mango-flavored petha.
