Ghewar · Jaipur

A disc of fried batter with a honeycomb texture, soaked in sugar syrup and often topped with rabri or mawa, made by Jaipur's sweet shops around Teej and Gangaur.

Ghewar is a disc-shaped Rajasthani sweet with a honeycomb texture, made from ghee, flour and sugar syrup. Wikipedia ties it to the month of Shravana, Teej and Raksha Bandhan, and says it is gifted to newly married daughters on Sinjara, the day before Gangaur and Teej, and that LMB introduced chhena ghevar in 1961. Condé Nast Traveller India's contributors buy it for the Gangaur and Teej processions, and Travel + Leisure Asia says ghevar is available at almost all top sweet shops in Jaipur.
