People usually consume pheni during sehri because it is easy to make. Pheni is soaked in milk and a little sugar is added before consuming. "Pheni is consumed only while it is hot as lumps of ghee forms on cooling down. Here (in Delhi) people usually prefer this during Ramadan, on eid it is made in fewer homes," says Mohd Shakeel of Asgher Bakery, in Old Delhi.
