Petha in Agra
Ash gourd candied in syrup. Agra has made it since the Taj was built, and the shops still argue over who is the original.
Petha
Translucent candied ash gourd, Agra's own sweet, sold by the kilo in boxes near the Taj. Plain, saffron, or rolled in dry coconut.
How it's eaten
Buy the small box first: the texture (wet, slightly crunchy) divides people sharply.
