With monsoon overhead, this is the best time for all us sweet lovers to indulge in the traditional Rajasthani Ghevar.
Ghevar is a popular Rajasthani sweet which is made with pure desi ghee, milk and maida. Traditionally, it is made during Raksha Bandhan and also Teej since the amount of moisture required for its preparation is ideal during this time period.
