Ghevar is a traditional Rajasthani dessert. It’s is disc-shaped crunchy sweet made with all-purpose flour. Ghevar is mainly served after pouring sugar syrup or mildly topped with milk rabdi. It mainly prepared during Teej, Holi and Raksha Bandhan festivals in north India. I would recommend using a deep pan to make ghevar to reduce the oil spill outside. Please wear gloves while dropping the batter into the oil.
