Chiroti
Chiroti is a delicacy predominantly served in Karnataka and Maharashtra. It is also famous in parts of Telangana state. Specially in the districts of Nalgonda. Here it is known by the name Pheni/Peni. It is served as a dessert on special occasions such as a festival or a wedding.
It's prepared by rolling out kneaded dough made of maida into layered circular shapes and then deep frying in ghee or refined oil. The outcome resembles a semi golden brown fluffy poori, which is then sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar and optionally grated almonds and cashew.
