Pheni

Common card · No. 464127

Pheni or fenia is a form of vermicelli from the Indian subcontinent. Although similar to seviyan, pheni uses finer noodles. Pheni is ritually used for the Karva Chauth festival, which is celebrated in parts of India, where it is one of the dishes on the traditional platter sargi thali and is consumed just before the fast associated with the festival begins. Similar dishes include khajla and sutarfeni; latter of these originates from Rajasthan. Since khajla and pheni are used as traditional foods for Ramadan in different cities of Pakistan, therefore, its preparation creates job opportunities for additional labour, and the trade for multiple grain industries rises.
