Pheni kheer is a must item in the Karwa Chauth Sargi thali or for any special occasion at my home or I usually make it for my big sweet tooth. 😁😁 It is prepared with milk, mild sweet and loaded with dry fruits. It is very light in taste, so easy to make and absolutely delicious dessert that you can served with your everyday meals.
Generally we get readymade Pheni disks in the sweet shops during the time of Karwa Chauth. It is a tradition to have Pheni on Karwa Chauth day along with other sargi items.
At my In-laws place this Pheni kheer is made during saawan month and can be served as a sweet dish after heavy meals.
What is Karwa Chauth and their significance behind the festival?
Karwa Chauth is a festival celebrated by Hindu women from the Northern and Western India on the fourth day after Purnima (a full moon) in the month of Kartika. On Karwa Chauth, married women, especially in North India, observe fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husbands.
Being an Indian , I loved Indian traditions so much and their values behind the festivals are so beautiful and meaningful. I'll share you what we do during karwa chauth in details in other post but for now in short -
we wake up early in the morning like around 4 a.m, make some delicious food for ourselves which include pheni ki kheer, fruits (like apple/coconut), some sweet like gulab jamun or rasgulla, a glass of water, tea/coffee, dry fruits, any stuffed paratha with curd. I know its sounds so funny that how can we eat this whole some meal in early morning😉 here's my sargi thali in below picture
Well let's go to the Feni Kheer, will share you about Karwa Chauth traditions in other post with some beautiful clicks.
Pheni is a wonderful traditional milk based dessert which can either be served chilled or can be relished hot too. It is very easy to make and hardly takes few minutes to prepare. Do try this creamy and rich feniya ki kheer this festival for sure.
