Ash gourd or white pumpkin also has other names by which it is referred to locally in different regions of South India. For instance, it is known as ‘kumbalanga’ in Malayalam and ‘poosanikai’ in Tamil languages.
The other English names for this squash are Winter Gourd, White Melon, Ash Pumpkin, Wax Gourd, Winter Melon, Tallow Gourd, Winter Gourd.
The name of the halwa is unique considering it has South Indian origins. Not only it is popular in the Udupi and Mangalore regions, it is also often served in the Tambrahm (Tamil Brahmin) weddings. In Tamil, this halwa is called Kasi Halwa.
It could be that white pumpkin is also called ‘Kashiphal” in Hindi and hence the name of Kashi Halwa.
