Ghevar is Jaipur's honeycomb disc sweet, made from a thin batter fried into a lacy cake, soaked with syrup, and often topped with malai or mawa. Order it as **"malai ghevar aadha kilo pack kar dena"** (*pack half a kilo of malai ghevar*) if you are carrying it back to a hotel. Prices usually run ₹400–₹1,000 per kg depending on topping, with peak freshness around Teej and Raksha Bandhan in July-August. The trap is buying a soggy pre-packed disc in humid weather; ask when it was made and keep rabri-topped versions for same-day eating.
