(News18 Hindi)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Ghewar, with its honeycomb texture and rich flavours, is a traditional Rajasthani sweet that often takes centre stage during festivals like Raksha Bandhan. While it\u2019s commonly found in sweet shops, few know what goes into making this delicacy or how such an intricate dish comes together. Its crisp edges, delicate centre, and complex appearance often make it seem intimidating to prepare at home.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Unlike <em>rasgulla, gulab jamun, barfi<\/em> or <em>peda<\/em>, sweets often made in home kitchens, ghewar remains a rare homemade treat. Most tend to buy it from the market when cravings hit. But if it\u2019s a family favourite, this Raksha Bandhan could be the perfect time to surprise a brother with something special, a homemade ghewar, crafted with care and festive spirit.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Renowned MasterChef Pankaj Bhadouria recently shared a simple recipe on her Instagram page that makes preparing this festive delicacy at home absolutely doable, even for beginners.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients<\/h2>\n<h3>For The Batter<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>4 tbsp ghee<\/li>\n<li>4\u20135 ice cubes<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup milk<\/li>\n<li>200 grams <em>maida<\/em> (refined flour)<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp gram flour<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>3 cups chilled water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For The Sugar Syrup<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>2 cups sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 cups water<\/li>\n<li>4\u20135 green cardamoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For The Malai (Rabri)<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>200 grams <em>khoya<\/em> (<em>mawa<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>1 cup milk<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp saffron<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Garnishing<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>Chopped almonds<\/li>\n<li>Chopped pistachios<\/li>\n<li>Rose petals<\/li>\n<li>Silver leaf (<em>varq<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Recipe To Make Ghewar<\/h2>\n<h3>Prepare The Ghewar Batter<\/h3>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Start by blending ghee and ice cubes together until a smooth emulsion forms. Add chilled milk and blend again. Then, add 3 tbsp of flour and blend. Once the mixture starts to come together, pour in 1 cup of cold water and blend again. Now, add half the remaining flour and another cup of cold water, blend thoroughly. Finally, mix in the rest of the flour and water, ensuring the batter is smooth, lump-free, and flows freely.<\/p>\n<h3>Frying The Ghewar<\/h3>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\">Heat about 3 inches of oil or ghee in a 7\u20138 inch deep wok. Once the oil is hot, pour half a ladle of batter in the centre. As bubbles begin to rise, add another half ladle. Continue adding batter in stages until around 2 cups are used. When the edges turn golden brown, gently loosen the ghewar with a sharp knife and remove it from the oil. Let it cool completely.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparing Sugar Syrup<\/h3>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\">Boil 2 cups of sugar with 2 cups of water until the mixture reaches a one-string consistency. Add crushed green cardamoms and stir lightly. Set aside to cool.<\/p>\n<h3>Making the Malai<\/h3>\n<p id=\"20\" class=\"story_para_20\">In a separate pan, cook grated khoya with milk until the mixture becomes smooth. Add sugar and saffron, and continue cooking until thickened. Once done, turn off the flame and allow it to cool.<\/p>\n<h3>Assembling the Ghewar<\/h3>\n<p id=\"22\" class=\"story_para_22\">Once the ghewar is ready and has cooled, spoon 3\u20134 tablespoons of sugar syrup over it. Then spread a generous layer of the prepared malai. Garnish with chopped almonds, pistachios, rose petals, and silver leaf.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-1cb0ad73008388e4 jsx-2276980523 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">The News18 Lifestyle section brings you the latest on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/health-and-fitness\/\">health<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/fashion\/\">fashion<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/travel\/\">travel<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/food\/\">food<\/a>, and culture \u2014 with wellness tips, celebrity style, travel inspiration, and recipes. <\/span>Also Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\">News18 App<\/a>\u00a0to stay updated!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-1cb0ad73008388e4 jsx-2276980523 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-1cb0ad73008388e4 jsx-2276980523 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/\">lifestyle<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Raksha Bandhan Recipe: Surprise Your Sibling With Homemade Ghewar In 15 Minutes<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
