For Frying and Garnishing:

Method:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the ghee and cold milk until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing well until combined.

- Prepare the Sugar Syrup:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
- Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup reaches a one-string consistency.
- Set aside and keep warm.
- Fry the Ghevar:
- Heat ghee or oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. The oil should be at least 4 inches deep.
- Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot oil, allowing it to spread out and form a net-like pattern.
- Fry until golden and crisp, then carefully remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess ghee.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Soak in Sugar Syrup:
- Immediately dip the fried ghevar into the warm sugar syrup, ensuring it’s coated well.
- Remove and place on a plate.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish the ghevar with chopped nuts and silver vark (if desired).
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
