Ghewar



This delicacy from Rajasthan is a quite popular during the festivals of Teej, Makar Sankranti and Gangaur. The batter made using all-purpose flour is disgorged into a specially designed mould and then deep fried. The ghewar is then immersed into sugar syrup for a while and served hot with a topping of malai or mawa. The main ingredient which gives the dish its distinct flavor is the kewda essence, which is a plant extract.
