Chiroti recipe with step by step pictures. Pathir pheni recipe or Padhir Peni made with flour which is rolled into a pinwheel. This is fried till crispy and soaked in sugar syrup.
Chiroti Recipe
This sweet has lots of layer and turned out so crispy. I used some flour to make the dough bind together. I used sugar syrup the dip this in, but you could dust it with powdered sugar and serve it. This pheni is served traditionally along with some badam milk. You can find the recipe of that right here. I just served it with plain milk.
