Ghevar goes global, thanks to MasterChef Australia contestant Depinder Chhibber: ‘She pulled the boss recipe'
Ghevar, originating from Rajasthan's Jaipur, has been a beloved sweet for centuries. It is deeply rooted in Rajasthani culture and is considered one of the state's most iconic desserts. During the latest season of the popular culinary reality television show MasterChef Australia, Indian origin chef Depinder Chhibber made ghevar for the judges. Calling it the 'Indian honeycomb', Chhibber, who made it to the competition's Top 4, brought the Indian delicacy to global attention. 'It's literally just pastry, so it's beautiful, crispy, crunchy, but very tricky to make,' she shared during the show. 'The oil has to be very hot, and the actual batter has to be ice cold. Add the chilled batter to the oil. You get that splattering, that's what builds that honeycomb texture,' Chhibber further added. Excited netizens did not hold back when it came to sharing their admiration with comments like: 'She pulled the boss recipe,' 'What perfect timing for a ghewar to be telecasted,' 'Iconic. Legendary. Authentically Indian. Rooting for you, Depinder. Get it home,' and 'This one is toughest to make but so delicious.' reached out to a culinary expert to learn about the fascinating history of this sweet delicacy. According to celebrity chef Ananya Banerjee, the sweet has royal connections – often prepared in the kitchens of Rajasthani maharajas and has been passed down through generations of traditional sweet makers called halwais. 'The name 'ghevar' is believed to come from the Sanskrit word 'ghrita' (ghee) combined with 'vat' (round), referring to its circular, ghee-rich preparation,' she said. Banerjee detailed that preparing ghevar is an art form that requires considerable skill: All-purpose flour (maida) Ghee (clarified butter) Cold water or milk Ice cubes 'The key is the temperature contrast between the cold batter and hot ghee, which creates the distinctive porous, disc-like structure,' said the chef. Banerjee shared that several factors make ghevar a monsoon specialty. 'The monsoon season coincides with important festivals like Teej and Raksha Bandhan in Rajasthan, and these festivals celebrate the arrival of rains and are particularly significant for women. Major Rajasthani festivals fall during this period, creating natural demand,' she said. According to her, ghevar is traditionally prepared and exchanged during these celebrations, as it is customary for married women to receive ghevar from their parents' homes during Teej. 'Another reason for their popularity during this season is that fresh ingredients like milk for rabri topping are more than readily available during the monsoon,' she added.

Suryakumar returns to action after surgery with Asia Cup 2025 in sight
India's preparations for the Asia Cup 2025 received a timely boost as T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav resumed batting at the National Cricket Academy's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru in late July. The explosive batter, who had undergone sports hernia surgery earlier this year in Germany, is now steadily progressing towards full fitness under the careful supervision of the BCCI medical team. His return to active cricketing drills signals optimism for India, with the Asia Cup just weeks away and the T20 World Cup 2026 campaign beginning to take shape.

Recovery in full swing ahead of Asia Cup Suryakumar, who had publicly shared news of his successful surgery in Munich back in June, has now begun structured training. Reports suggest that his workload will be ramped up significantly in the coming weeks as he builds towards match readiness.

His return offers India both leadership and firepower, just when they need it most.
