Raksha Bandhan 2018: 5 shops in Delhi that make the best Rajasthani ghevar

Rakshabandhan 2018: Chaina Ram Sindhi Confectioners and Nathu Sweets are two of the shops where you can get some of the best ghevar in Delhi.

Ghevar is a popular Rajasthani sweet which is made with pure desi ghee, milk and maida. Enjoyed mostly during the monsoon season, ghevar is one sweet dish which you must definitely try if you haven’t already.

Ghevar is traditionally made during Raksha Bandhan and also Teej, since the amount of moisture required for its preparation is ideal during this time period.
