How to make Ghevar Recipe
Prepare Ghevar Batter
- Step 1
In a pan, add 3 tablespoons of ghee and mix well with 4 ice cubes. Once the ghee solidifies, remove the ice cubes and whip it well until creamy.
- Step 2
Gradually add 1 cup of flour while adding a little cold water and whip it well until all lumps are removed.
- Step 3
Add 1 cup of curd and a little more water to make a thin batter. Sieve the batter and keep it in the fridge.
Prepare Sugar Syrup
- Step 1
In a pan, add sugar and water. Once the sugar dissolves, add lemon juice and cook until it reaches a one-string consistency.
- Step 2
Turn off the gas and keep the syrup in ice water to cool down.
Fry Ghevar
- Step 1
Heat oil well and add the batter a little at a time. After adding one spoonful of batter, let the oil settle down before adding more batter.
- Step 2
Make holes in between using a rolling pin and continue adding batter in batches, using four to five spoonfuls in total.
- Step 3
Lower the gas flame and fry the Ghevar until it turns golden brown.

FAQS
Can I use butter instead of ghee?
Ghee is traditionally used for Ghevar as it gives a distinct flavor and texture. Butter may alter the taste and consistency.
How do I know the sugar syrup has reached one-string consistency?
Take a drop of syrup between your fingers and stretch it; if it forms a single thread, it has reached the desired consistency.
Can I store Ghevar?
Yes, you can store Ghevar in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Ensure it is completely cooled before storing.
What can I use as a substitute for milk powder?
You can use condensed milk as a substitute, but it may alter the sweetness and consistency of the rabdi.
Can I make Ghevar without frying?
Frying is essential for the traditional texture and taste of Ghevar. Baking or steaming will not yield the same results.
