About Sheermal

Sheermal is a saffron-infused flatbread that originates from Persian and Mughal cuisines, with widespread popularity in South Asia, India, and Pakistan. Soft and slightly sweet, this bread is traditionally made using flour, milk, sugar, butter or ghee, and a pinch of saffron for its distinctive flavor and aroma. It is often leavened with yeast, giving it a pillowy texture. Sheermal pairs wonderfully with rich curries or kebabs, making it a decadent addition to meals. While Sheermal is a source of carbohydrates and provides energy, its high butter or ghee content contributes to saturated fats, and the sugar adds extra calories, making it more of a treat than an everyday food. The saffron used is packed with antioxidants, adding a touch of nutritional value, but overall, moderation is key when enjoying this luxurious bread.
