Parwal Mithai

Parwal Ki Mithai is a distinctive and delightful sweet that is often enjoyed during Chhath Puja. Made from parwal (pointed gourd), this sweet is created by hollowing out the parwal, boiling it to soften, and then stuffing it with a rich mixture of khoya (milk solids), dry fruits, and sugar. The stuffed parwal is then cooked in sugar syrup to give it a glossy finish and enhance its sweetness. As one of the unique Chhath Puja sweets, Parwal Ki Mithai adds an interesting twist to the festive offerings, combining the freshness of vegetables with the richness of traditional Indian sweets
