Instructions
- 1 In a large bowl, whisk ghee and chilled milk. Add flour gradually, mixing well. Add chilled water little by little with ice cubes, whisking to make a smooth, thin batter.
- 2 Heat ghee/oil in a deep, wide pan. Place a cylindrical mold (ghewar ring) in the hot ghee.
- 3 Pour batter in a thin stream into the center of the mold. Allow it to spread and form a net-like texture. Fry on medium flame.
- 4 Repeat pouring batter in intervals until desired thickness is achieved. Fry until golden and crisp.
- 5 Carefully remove ghewar from oil and drain on a wire rack.
- 6 Prepare sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water until it reaches one-string consistency. Add cardamom and saffron.
- 7 Dip ghewar briefly in warm syrup or drizzle syrup over it.
