Crispy Ghevar Recipe Brings Traditional Rajasthani Sweet To Raksha Bandhan
Ghevar is a crispy sweet from Rajasthan.
It has a honeycomb-like shape and texture.
People often enjoy it during festivals such as Raksha Bandhan.
To make it, flour, ghee, milk and water are mixed into a thin batter.
Chilled ingredients help make the batter smooth and flowing.
The batter is poured little by little into very hot ghee.
Each layer is allowed to set before the next one is added.
Finally, sugar syrup is poured over the golden, crispy sweet.
The syrup should be added carefully so the ghevar stays crisp.
Raksha Bandhan 2026 will be celebrated on August 28.
Ghevar is a traditional Rajasthani sweet with a crisp, honeycomb-like texture.
The batter uses refined flour, ghee, milk, water, cardamom, food colour and optional lemon juice.
Small amounts of batter are poured into hot ghee in layers to create ghevar’s round, lacy structure.
A light one-string sugar syrup is drizzled over the fried ghevar without making it soggy.
