Mini Ghevar with Rabdi

        This is my first post in the SNC challenge event conducted by Divya of Youtoocancookindianfood.    When i saw January month SNC challenged   by Manjula of Northern Team for January was Ghevar with Kesar Rabdi, i was very sure i wouldnt do it .It was too tricky and more calories,so i thought i might skip.Manjula  has given a commendable job in giving detailed description and pictorial in her  blog DieFiesta.
      Ghevar  , it was an impossible mission for me,i was too scared to try it.I was inspired when the fellow bloggers actively participated in the event, i thought let me try too, wow , i am happy i tried .This is such a amazing dessert that you should have definitely once.
    I liked the ghevar on its own, it was so crunchy and melted in the mouth.I made the rabdi it just tasted heaven no words to say .I didnt try it with sugar syrup as it is too sweet for us.Do try it guys , you will definitely like it  you can reduce the sugar if you want.
