Dear Dr. Gurcharan Singh Ji, My fruit is about 5" in diameter, but it is not yet mature. it is still green in colour. The seeds will not be mature, but the fruit could be used for cooking. Mine is definitely not the ash gourd or white pumpkin. Would be interesting to note the appearance of Balkar Ji' s plant. Regards Yazdy.
