Pheni

Pheni or fenia is a form of vermicelli from the Indian subcontinent. Although similar to seviyan, pheni uses finer noodles. In different cities of Pakistan, pheni is used as a traditional food along with khajla in the month of Ramadan, providing job opportunities by hiring additional labour for its preparation and boosting the trade of multiple grain industries.

Pheni is also ritually used for the Karva Chauth festival, which is celebrated in parts of Northern and Western India, where it is one of the dishes on the sargi thali and is consumed just before the fast associated with the festival begins. Sutarfeni, a similar sweet dish with a slightly different texture, is originated from Rajasthan.
