Sewai is special on Eid

Flavours of sewai make Eid even more sweeter

"People who are originally from Uttar Pradesh prefer Benarasi Kiwami Sewai more. It is even thinner than hair and that is why it is made using machines. In local language it is called Benarasi chhatta because a bundle of it looks like a bee-hive," says Umez Javed Khan of Al-Karam Bakers. Khan, whose shop is located in the lane opposite one of the mosque's gate says that in Benaras the prices are lower but when it arrives in Delhi it costs Rs 150to Rs 200 per kg.
