🍳 How to Make Ghevar – Step-by-Step

1. Prepare the Batter:

  • In a bowl, rub chilled ghee with ice cubes until it turns white and creamy.

  • Add flour gradually, alternating with cold water, and whisk into a thin, flowing batter.

  • Add lemon juice and let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes.

2. Fry the Ghevar:

  • Heat ghee/oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan.

  • Pour a ladle of batter from a height in the center of the hot oil.

  • Wait a few seconds, then pour another ladle. Repeat 3–4 times.

  • Let it cook until golden and crisp. Remove gently and drain excess oil.

3. Prepare Sugar Syrup:

  • Boil sugar and water until you get a one-string consistency.

  • Add saffron and cardamom powder. Keep warm.

4. Assemble the Ghevar:

  • Dip the cooled ghevar briefly in warm syrup or drizzle it over.

  • Garnish with chopped dry fruits, silver leaf, or a spoonful of rabri for a royal touch.

📌 Pro Tips for Making Perfect Ghevar

  • The batter must be very thin – almost watery.

  • Use very cold ghee and water to get the right texture.

  • Pour batter from a height to form the honeycomb pattern.

  • Let each ladleful cook slightly before adding the next.

🥣 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve chilled with rabri for an indulgent dessert.
