Step

Method

Take ghee and shifted flour in a large bowl and mix them well. Soak saffron in 3/4 cup warm milk 

Add saffron milk to it slowly and keep mixing softly till nice and fluffy in texture.

Now add water to it gradually and make lump free thin batter.

Heat oil in a cylinder like vessel, (I used here Fry Pan) keep the flame to medium high.

Pour batter slowly you will see the batter starts scattering and collects near the sides in the circular shape.Use skewer to detach the batter

Once it fried take it away using skewer.Keep it in tissue paper to absorb oil.

For preparing sugar syrup take one and half cup sugar and one cup water in a pan.Bring  them to boil with occasional stirring.Slowly heat it in low flame to 5 - 10 minutes to get string consistency.

Then dip the ghevar in the syrup. Don't dip for long time.

 For Kesar  Rabdi :

Apply little ghee in a sauce pan, add and heat  milk in low flame.Get the milk reduced, add cardamom powder, few saffron strands,crushed pistachios and mix them well.Then add sweetened condensed milk and stir it constantly.After you get thick consistency switch off the stove.

Top the Ghevar with Rabdi when you ready to serve.

Delicious Ghewar is ready to serve.
