Description
Ghervar is a crispy Indian treat often made with chickpea flour, dipped in sugar syrup and garnished with dried fruit or nuts.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Place the ghee in a large bowl and rub with ice cubes until it turns pale. Remove the ice cubes and add the chickpea flour. Mix well to form a crumbly mix. Add the cold milk and mix well.
Step 2 of 4
Pour in 750ml of chilled water and the lemon juice and mix well to form a smooth, runny batter. Place the sugar in a large saucepan and add 120ml of water, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until it reaches a syrup consistency.
Step 3 of 4
Heat the oil in a large, wide saucepan to 180°C. Carefully drop in a ladleful of batter from a height. Make a hole in the middle with a spoon and add another layer of batter on top after 15 seconds. Repeat, making a hole in the middle each time. 2-3 times until you have desired thickness and remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining batter to make several ghervars.
Step 4 of 4
Drain the ghervars on kitchen paper. Pour sugar syrup on top of each and sprinkle with mixed dry fruit.
