Ingredients:

Recipe :

  • Step 1

    Take a bowl and add desi ghee in it along with ice cubes. Rub with hands vigorously until it turns white, light and creamy for approximately 3-4 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Add all purpose flour to this creamed ghee and mix well.

  • Step 3

    Next, add milk in the bowl and mix well to prepare a batter without any lump. Now, add chilled water and prepare a thin lump free batter. Fill the batter in a sauce dispenser and keep it chilled.

  • Step 4

    Heat ghee or oil for deep frying ghewar in a flat and heavy-bottomed vessel of approximately 6-7 cm height. Fill it with ghee or oil half way.

  • Step 5

    When the oil is hot enough, pour 2 tablespoons of the batter in the centre of oil from the height. It will sizzle up, so be careful. Wait for a minute. When all foam settles down pour 2 tablespoons of batter again in the centre of oil.

  • Step 6

    Keep adding batter little by little in same manner. Maintain a hole in the centre using a skewer to pour the batter in. Keep adding batter until reach desired thickness. For a ghewar of 6-7 inches diameter, 1/3 batter is sufficient.

  • Step 7

    When the centre is crisp, it means that the ghewar is cooked. Take it out by inserting a skewer in centre. Place it on a wire rack in a plate to drain out excess oil. Prepare more ghewar the same way.

  • Step 8

    Now for sugar syrup, heat sugar with half cup of water in it. Give a boil and then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Take it off the burner and add rose water in it.

  • Step 9

    Again place the ghewar on a wire rack in a plate and pour warm syrup evenly all over the top of ghewar. Excess syrup will run down and collect in the plate.

  • Step 10

    Soak all ghewars in the sugar syrup. Top them up with rabri and sprinkle some chopped almonds and pistachios for garnishing and enjoy!
