“Art Of Making Gheeyar” : Internet Reacts To The Sindhi Ghevar Recipe

Sweet, crispy and covered with malai and dry fruits, ghevar is one of the most popular sweet dishes from Rajasthan. This sweet treat takes centre stage during special occasions like Hariyali Teej and Raksha Bandhan. But little did we know that it is also prepared in different forms. A video from a sweet shop in Jaipur is making rounds on the internet, wherein a vendor can be seen making gheeyar. Well, for those who don’t know, it is a Sindhi ghevar that looks much like jalebi. Coming back to the viral clip, which was shared by a food vlogger on Instagram, it opens with the vendor mixing food colouring in the batter, turning it into a bright tangerine colour. Next, he puts multiple round moulds inside a massive wok, filled with hot oil.

Then the vendor dips his five fingers in the batter and pulls out, forming multiple strings. He drops these strings inside those moulds, which then layer up —eventually forming a big disc like jalebi. The vendor repeats the process in the other moulds, which he removes after the gheeyars are fried properly. The video concludes with him dipping the dessert in sugar syrup and then topping it with generous chopped almonds and cashews. The clip was shared along with the text, “Art of making gheeyar”, while the caption read “Ever tried?”
