Sewai is special on Eid

Markets are filled with a whole host of the sewai, or vermicelli traditionally used to make the sweet dish on Eid. As the wait for 'chand ki raat' is about to get over, rozedaars flock to the bazaars to prepare for the Sweet Feast. In Delhi, vendors say the preference is for the Benarsi sewai while in neighbouring Gurgoan the favoured sewai is that from Patna.
