Fasting followed by feasting is a part of most Indian festivals, but Teej uniquely emphasizes bonding over delicious food. You can't imagine Teej without mentioning its culinary quintessence - Ghewar! The festival of Teej is simply incomplete without this traditional, plate-sized sweet. Have you ever wondered why Ghewar is so popular and what makes it an essential part of this festival?

Ghewar is a deep-fried, scrumptious Rajasthani delicacy with a honeycomb shape that holds immense traditional and cultural importance, making it irreplaceable for the Teej festival. Available only during the rainy season, Ghewar requires moist, humid weather to achieve its characteristic spongy texture. The monsoons provide the perfect conditions to indulge in this rich dessert.

Made with maida, desi ghee, sugar syrup, milk, saffron, dry fruits, and varak, Ghewar can also be topped according to your preference. Common varieties include Rabri, Malai, and Mawa Ghewar. Eating Ghewar on Teej is also associated with Ayurvedic practices for balancing Vata and Pitta doshas. The dehydrating climatic conditions can cause acidity and restlessness, and consuming Ghewar, made with ghee, provides relief and calms the body from within. While Ghewar is calorie-dense, enjoying some of this mouth-watering traditional dessert won’t harm you during the festive season.

So, try making this sweet delicacy at home and flaunt your culinary skills this Teej. And while you're celebrating, consider wearing a festive-themed t-shirt to enhance the joyous spirit. Choose from a variety of designs like Hanuman t-shirts, Ganesh t-shirts, Krishna t-shirts, Ganpati t-shirts, Anjaneya t-shirts, Krsna t-shirts, Lord Krishna t-shirts, T-shirt Krishna, and Hindu t-shirts to complement the festive atmosphere.
