What is ghewar?

Quick answer

Ghewar is a disc-shaped Rajasthani sweet of batter poured into hot ghee so it sets into a honeycomb, then soaked in sugar syrup. It is closely associated with Teej.

Detailed answer

Shops distinguish plain ghewar from versions topped with mawa or malai. The festival season is when the best kitchens bother. Out of season you may be eating a stored or ordinary batch.

It is very sweet and very rich. A small piece after a meal is the usual way, not a whole disc per person.
