Top-Op’s list runs to two things, sugar and ash gourd at 30 per cent, and the box is ready to eat with nothing to cook or soak first. It is the plainest sweet on a mithai plate and the one that quietly empties. Choosing between the sweets? Petha when you want something light and chewy, kaju katli when you want cashew, and halwa when you want something that is dense and rich instead. Tip: Halve the larger cubes before they go out.
