By Usman Kidwai. As Eid celebrations near, Sewai has emerged as a must-have delicacy across India. Factories around the country are ramping up production to meet the soaring demand for this festive staple.

The most coveted Sewai originates from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, where production skyrockets to thousands of kilograms daily. The India Wheat Sewai factory on Campwell Road, heralded for its distinctive texture and flavor, caters not just to local markets but supplies nationally during Ramzan.

Factory owner Mohd Unais explains that the production begins with a mix of wheat and water that's processed into fine strands and later dried and baked for a unique taste and aroma.
