The phirni, on a other hand, is served cold.  Down a road, off Yari Road, eateries Seekh Paratha Inn and Treat Way Inn have set adult tables along a line for iftar and sehari. We punch into a oil-laden seekh kebab paratha (Rs 50), and a cooking duck hits all a right notes. The aftertaste, we realise, is of fire. But, there’s phirni for a honeyed ending.  Treat Way Inn is a stop for Malpuas. A bit too most ghee, and inexhaustible on a mawa, it’s usually endorsed if we can omit a calories. Try their tawa specials, mutton sandwich (Rs 50) and sharp gurda kalegi (Rs 200).
