Mini Ghevar Dessert | Ghewar with Rabdi

January 18, 2013 By Sangeetha Priya 29 Comments

Coming to this month Divya’s South vs North Indian challenge the South Indian teams are challenged with this mini ghevar/ghewar by Manjula Bharath of Desi Fiesta. Thks for challenging us with this wonderful recipe…Actually I thought of posting this Rajasthani traditional dessert on or before pongal which they make it especially for Sankranthi, but I couldn’t. Ghevar is nothing but a crisp flat disc shaped snack made from thin batter of all purpose flour/maida, cooked/deep fried in hot oil/ghee in low flame till it attains nice crisp golden color. This plain ghevar is served with sugar syrup or Rabdi, I opted for rabdi. My daughter liked the plain ghevar, where I specially soaked it in rabdi for my son, who enjoyed it a lot. I invited my hus with this hot ghevar when he returned from office, he was curious to know abt htis recipe. I
explained everything like what I said here, he appreciated my effort n finally concluded “Well this month the gas bill will definitely hit more than the prev ones”, what to say 🙁

Ingredients for Ghevar
All Purpose Flour/Maida – 1 Cup
Ghee – 2 n 1/2 Tbsp
Water – 2 n 1/2 Cups
Cardamom Powder – 1/2 Tbsp
Pinch of Salt
Ghee/Oil – For deep fry (I used Oil)
Ingredients for Rabdi
Whole Milk – 2 Cups
Sweet Condensed Milk – 3/4th Cup
Cardamom Powder – 1/2 Tbsp
Chopped n fried nuts like Cashew/Pista/Almond – 2 Tbsp
Method
  • Heat milk in a pan when comes to boil simmer it for 2-3mins n add condensed milk.
  • When all rolled together to nice thick consistency, adjust sugar to suit ur taste buds.
  • Finally add cardamom powder n fried nuts.
  • Keep this Rabdi aside and start making ghevar.
  • Melt ghee, add cardamom powder n salt to it.
  • Add 1n1/2 cups of water to the ghee mixture n gradually add flour
  • Mix with whisk to get lump free batter.
  • Add tbsp of remaining water at a time and make even thin batter.
  • Batter should have one thread consistency (See Note 1).
  • Heat oil in a hollow/cylinderial utensil to get this round beautiful mini ghevar.
  • When I start clicking pictures my son usually smile for the flash n I was searching for him, see he started sleeping under my feet 🙂
  • Check the oil temperature by dropping few drops in oil, the batter drops should raise immd after falling in (Pic 2).
  • Take the batter in a cup/ladle n pour very thin batter in to the oil by maintaining a distance as much as u can.
  • While pouring, the oil should be very hot.
  • After finished pouring approx 5Tbsps of batter or when the bubbles settles down, just leave a short gap, make hole in center using wooden stick (Pic 3) and again pour another 5Tbsps of batter.
  • Can repeat one more time, but as a beginner I stopped with 2 rounds.
  • Now reduce the flame n cook till sides leave (in between make hole at center).
  • You may get the Pic 4 texture approximately after 12-15mins but depends on the size of utencil n thickness of batter.
  • When u see lot of bubbles at the time of ghevar cooking, you can put off the stove for 1-2mins or till bubbles settle down.
  • The only thing you have to note is at the time of pouring the batter in oil, flame should be Med-High n while cooking it should be low as possible.
  • For a single ghevar it took almost 20mins to get it done.
  • Place it as shown in Pic 5 to collect the excess oil.
  • Then drain in paper towel for few more mins.

  • Bit time consuming, calorie rich, very challenging recipe but worth trying this delicious dessert 🙂
  • Please watch this video to know about ghevar making.
  • That day my hands were shaking due to ill health so I dropped the batter here n there.
  • But satisfied with the perfect outcome n everyone at home liked it.
  • Serve with rabdi or sugar syrup.
  • I forget to click the plain ghevars before soaking in the rabdi n also rushed to prepare dinner.
  • I feel sorry for the pictures I clicked but I will make this ghevar again sometime later n update it.

 Note:

  1. Atlast, for final batches you may need more water to bring the batter to thread consistency.
  2. If ghevar sticks at bottom, increase the flame n gently pop it up using wooden stick.
