HAPPY SWEET!
The journey was a long one, t
he details of the journey was green even after two years. Me touring north India for the first time was over excited. Mumbai, Gujarat, Agra ,Rajastan… a long way. The only sad part is, all the peoples in our group were above forty, but when it comes to food age doesn’t matter. I carried the cuisines of all the states, back to south, But only Rajastani cuisine made its way to our school annual food fest. With recipes in hand it’s easy to cook, but will you get the authenticity? Rather experimenting we got some rajastani cooks for the fest. The meat was excluded from the menu, because its Marwari cuisine – Vegetarianism. I remember that day at Pink City, where my stomach was full and my walk was slow. My purchase of two identical sarees, a yellow handbag; some hand made dolls, a large turban. A delicious smell pulled me around the corner to find a small stall filled with Ghevar (a Rajastani Sweet), my mouth munched till my whole body turned sweet. How do you prepare it? I got the answer after three months in our school fest, those yellow Ghewar prepared, fried in ghee with that beating technique, a hole in the centre. The ingredients may look simple but a real skill is required to prepare it, and just the recipe wont help, observation and practice will lead to perfection. How can one forget the other Marwari foods, and when will I taste the Rajastani Meat cooking?

Method
Take the solidified ghee and beat it hard with beater using ice . When the ghee turns white, add milk, flour and water. Mix well so that a smooth batter is ready. To this add colored water. Next, in another pan, heat ghee. When it is smoky hot, very slowly and carefully pour the batter in the center of the ghee. Allow the foam toform and settle, add one more batch of batter in hole formed in center. Again, after the foam relatively settles, using an iron skewer remove the ghevar and dip in the sugar syrup. Allow it to stand for sometime on mesh so that it rains excess syrup.
