Chandini Ghewar is Rajasthan's signature honeycomb-textured sweet, hand-crafted by Dadus — Hyderabad's most celebrated mithai house. 6-inch disc, deep-fried in pure ghee to form a golden lace pattern, then topped with edible silver leaf, chopped pistachios, and almond slivers. Traditionally sent during Raksha Bandhan (August 28) and Teej. Ships fresh from India to your brother's or sister's doorstep in 3-5 business days via DHL Express, zero customs.
What is Chandini Ghewar
Chandini Ghewar is the queen of Rajasthani sweets. Batter of refined flour is drizzled in concentric circles into hot ghee, creating an intricate honeycomb-lace disc, soaked in aromatic sugar syrup, then finished with silver leaf (varak), pistachios, and slivered almonds. The result: a crispy, syrup-soaked, melt-in-mouth mithai unlike anything else in the Indian sweet catalog.
Why Dadus makes the finest ghewar
Dadus has been making ghewar the traditional way for three generations. Their master mithai-wala hand-drizzles each batter ring with a copper ladle, controls the ghee temperature to the exact degree, and finishes each 6-inch disc in a presentation-ready gift box. This is not a mass-produced sweet. Each ghewar takes 15 minutes of hands-on work.
