Flaky fried strands of dough as fine as vermicelli, eaten dipped in hot sugar syrup or soaked in warm saffron milk, and exchanged at Jaipur's January kite festival.

Pheni is a fine fried vermicelli-like sweet made from flour or semolina dough stretched into many thin layers; Wikipedia says the name comes from the Sanskrit phenaka, a layered pastry, and that sutarfeni, the nest-shaped Rajasthani form, is served ready-made. Time Out says Jaipur gifts pheeni to friends and family during the January kite festival, with warm saffron milk or dipped in hot syrup with pistachios at Sambhar Fini Wala, a shop it dates to 1966.
