Mix it well. Now your final batter is ready with a good thin and flowy consistency. Heat the ghee in a pan on a stove. Make sure the pan in which ghee is heating has a good heavy bottom. Put or drop some batter into it after it gets heated.

If the batter is spreading then it is good and if not then there is something wrong with your batter. Now we are going to prepare our Ghevar. What you need to do is drop the batter very slowly into the ghee. Just drop little by little and slowly.

Drop it slowly and you will see the formation of net-like structure. It should be dropped little by little in the center. Stop for some time and then drop it again. Repeat this process again and again. Make a hole in the center with a spoon or fork.

You will see that the batter is getting brown from outside. It means it is cooking well. When the whole of it is getting brown then cook it for half a minute in low flame.

Now the Ghevar is ready. Take it out. Keep it on stainer so that excess ghee gets drained out. Keep it like that for half an hour. You will see that it is round in shape and crispy.
