PHENI

This is another treat I got back with me from my trip to the beautiful city of Mysore. It is called PHENI-a delicious sweet made from Maida [Refined wheat flour] and butter!! This is what it look like..Those of you who are familiar will be drooling just thinking about the melt-in-the -mouth taste,rite!!!...





This type of pheni is rather difficult to prepare at home and only the most experienced chefs are good at spinning this one!!

Lay out 1 pheni on a serving dish and top it with a generous helping of powdered sugar and then soak it in warm milk for a few seconds and serve.I prefer to use cold/chilled milk.It will be cool crunchy and sweet!!Yum yumm!!


This kind of pheni is common in most of our festivals and wedding.Many people still feel that a wedding feast is not complete if they are not served this kind of pheni.

You can eat any number of pheni and still not feel full.They are light and keep you craving for more so my small stock of pheni disappeared in 2 days...

There is another kind of pheni which resembles a poori but served the same way.This pheni is quite easy to make and can be prepared at home. I got to ask mom for the recipe and post later...
