Ghevar (Devanagari:घेवर) is a Rajasthani cuisine disc-shaped sweet made from ghee, flour, and sugar syrup.[1] It is traditionally associated with the month of Shravan and the Teej and Raksha Bandhan festivals.[2][3] Besides Rajasthan, it is also famous in the adjoining states of Haryana, Delhi, Gujarat, western Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh.
Preparation[edit]
Ghevar is a disc-shaped sweet cake made with maida (refined wheat flour) and soaked in sugar syrup.[1][4] Flour, ghee, milk, and water are mixed to make a batter. The batter is then fried in ghee and the sweet is fried into a golden honeycomb-like disc.[3] Common toppings include spices and nuts.[5]
Variation[edit]
Ghevar comes in multiple varieties, including plain, mawa, and malai ghevar.[1] Ghevar can be soaked in sugar-water syrup or is often topped with rabdi.[5][6]
