Rajasthani Ghevar

Cultural Context

Ghevar is a traditional Rajasthani dessert, often associated with the Teej festival, celebrating the arrival of monsoon. This disc-shaped sweet is made from a batter of flour and ghee, deep-fried to create a honeycomb texture, and soaked in sugar syrup. With its rich flavors and unique texture, Ghevar is a festive favorite, enjoyed across India and increasingly popular in global Indian cuisine.

1

Sift the flour and keep it aside.

2

Take melted ghee, a few tablespoons of ice cold water, and milk in a large pan and mix them well.

3

Add maida to it slowly, mixing very softly to avoid lumps.

4

Gradually add water to the dough, mixing until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

5

Fill a round deep vessel with ghee and heat it on high flame until hot.

6

Check the ghee temperature by dropping a small portion of batter; it should rise immediately without sticking.

7

Once hot, pour a spoonful of batter in the middle of the vessel in a thin stream from about 6 inches height.

8

Wait for bubbles to settle before adding more batter, repeating this until a complete disc forms.

9

Fry until golden brown, then carefully remove and drain excess ghee.

10

Prepare syrup by boiling sugar and water until one-string consistency is reached, stirring occasionally.

11

Immerse the ghevar in the hot syrup for 5-10 seconds, then let excess syrup drain off.

12

Let the ghevar dry for about 1 hour before storing.
