'''''Chirote''''' (sometimes '''''chiroti''''' or '''''cheeroti'''''; also called '''''pheni''''' or '''''peni''''') is a delicacy predominantly served in Maharashtra and former Bombay State areas in Karnataka. It is also famous in parts of [[Telangana state]], especially in the district of [[Nalgonda]] where it is known by the name ''peni''. It is served as a dessert on special occasions such as a festival or a wedding.<ref>{{cite book|last=Phillip|first=T E|title=Modern Cookery: For Teaching and the Trade, P 561 |year=2003 |publisher=Orient Blackswan |isbn=9788125025184|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2wnrrbMJyN0C&q=indian+sweets+chiroti&pg=PA561}}</ref><br />
