Ghevar (Rajasthani Honeycomb Sweet)
One serving has 299 kcal and 4 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of thiamin (25%) and selenium (20%). Ready in 45 minutes.
- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (96.1 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten, nut
Ingredients
- 30 g Flour, all-purpose
- 8 g Ghee
- 10 g Milk, whole
- 25 g Sugar
- 20 g Water
- 3 g Pistachios
- 0.1 g Cardamom
Method
- Makes 1 small ghevar; multiply by 6 for a batch made in a proper ghevar mould.
- Whisk the ghee into ice-cold water until it separates into tiny beads, then whisk in the flour and milk to form a thin, watery batter.
- Heat oil in a tall, narrow mould or deep pan to about 170 °C (340 °F).
- Pour a thin stream of batter into the center of the hot oil; it will sizzle and rise, forming a honeycomb of holes as it sets, about 1-2 minutes.
- Lift out, drain well, and once cool, soak briefly in a syrup made from the sugar, water and cardamom.
- Garnish with the chopped pistachios.
