Sewai, the deep-fried golden-coloured vermicelli in Matia Mahal market 

It is the sweet food of Ramzan, the holy month when Muslims are required to fast till the sunset to cleanse their soul. In evenings, the decorated alleys in Delhi’s dominantly Muslim neighbourhoods such as Jamia Nagar, Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti and Matia Mahal are lined with stalls selling sewai.
Thin strands of wheat flour, sewai are boiled in rose-flavoured milk, occasionally garnished with pistachio nuts, almonds and rasins, and are taken as dessert.
The sewai sold on streets during Ramzan - Rs 50 for a 1kg bundle - are less romantic. Not handmade, they are manufactured at factories in Seelampur, East Delhi. Unlike the homemade off-white variety, these come roasted, giving them a golden shade.
Crisp and brittle, the market sewai easily soften when boiled in milk - the conventional preparation. There are other ways of cooking it, too. In khushk sewai, the strands are fried in desi ghee, soaked in chashni (sugar syrup) and sprinkled with nuts.
