Padar Pheni or Paenia is a traditional sweet made using maida/ All purpose flour that is layered as a paratha, deep fried in oil and then soaked in sugar syrup. It is a very popular sweet in my native place Ambur in Tamil Nadu and is made in most homes here. Padar Pheni or Layered Phenia tastes delicious and is best served hot as an evening snack. This is my mother in law’s recipe who is an expert in making this sweet.
