INGREDIENTS
Ash gourd (petha) 1 kilogram
Sugar 750 grams
Alum powder 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice 1 tablespoons
METHOD
Cut petha into half, remove skin and seeds and cut into pieces of desired size
Prick them with a fork or any other pointed thing
Place petha pieces in a large pan and pour sufficient water so as to just cover the pieces
Add alum powder and boil for about ten to fifteen minutes
Remove from heat, drain and wash thoroughly under running water
Combine sugar with one cup of water and heat till sugar dissolves
Add lemon juice to remove scum, if any. Reduce heat to medium and add boiled petha
Continue cooking till pethas get softened and sugar syrup is of three-thread consistency
Remove from heat, remove pethas and keep the pieces separately so that they do not stick to each other
Serve when cool.
