Ghevar
A disc-shaped, porous sweet from Rajasthan, made from a flour batter and soaked in sugar syrup. It's a specialty of the Teej festival.

Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (maida)
- 1/4 cup Ghee, melted
- 3-4 Ice cubes
- 4 cups Chilled water
- Ghee for deep frying
- 1.5 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Water
For Sugar Syrup:
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, take the melted ghee and rub it with ice cubes until it becomes creamy and solid.
- Add the flour and crumble it into the ghee. Gradually add the chilled water and whisk to make a thin, smooth, lump-free batter.
- Fry the Ghevar: Heat ghee for deep frying in a deep, cylindrical pan. The ghee should be very hot.
- Pour a ladleful of batter from a height in a thin stream into the center of the hot ghee. It will sizzle and create a lattice-like structure.
- Allow the froth to settle, then pour another ladleful in the center. Repeat 4-5 times to form a thick disc with a hole in the center.
- Fry until golden and crisp. Carefully lift the ghevar out and place it on a wire rack to drain excess ghee.
- Prepare the syrup: Boil sugar and water until it reaches a one-string consistency.
- Assemble: Place the fried ghevar on the wire rack and pour the warm sugar syrup over it. Garnish with rabri, nuts, or silver vark. Let it set before serving.
