Peth / Bhuj Badi – Traditional Uttarakhand Ash Gourd Nuggets

Peth / Bhuj Badi is a traditional food preparation from Uttarakhand, made using ash gourd (petha) and age-old pahadi methods. Prepared in many hill households, these badis are carefully shaped into small nuggets and naturally sun-dried, allowing them to be stored and enjoyed throughout the year.

In traditional pahadi kitchens, Peth / Bhuj Badi is valued for its long shelf life, unique taste, and ability to add richness to simple meals. When cooked, the badis absorb flavours beautifully, making them ideal for sabzi, curries, or traditional dal preparations.

At Veshak, our Peth / Bhuj Badi is prepared in small batches using traditional techniques—without preservatives, artificial colours, or chemicals. The ash gourd is processed, shaped, and dried naturally to retain its authentic taste and texture, just as it has been done for generations in the hills.

Simple, wholesome, and deeply rooted in Himalayan food culture, Peth / Bhuj Badi brings the warmth of pahadi homes straight to your kitchen.
