Sheermal (Persian/Urdu: شیرمال, Template:Langx,:, also spelled shirmal, is a saffron-flavored traditional flatbread eaten in Iran and the Indian subcontinent. The word sheermal is derived from the Persian words شیر (translit. sheer, Sanskrit kshir) meaning milk, and مالیدن (translit. malidan), meaning to rub or to knead. In a literal translation, sheermal means milk-rubbed. It was introduced to North India by the Mughal emperors during the medieval period. It became part of Lucknow, Hyderabad and Aurangabad.[1] It is also part of Awadhi cuisine[2] and is eaten in Bhopal and brought to Pakistan post partition.
Preparation
Shirmal is a mildly sweet naan made out of maida, leavened with yeast and baked in a tandoor or oven. Shirmal was traditionally made like roti. Today, shirmal is prepared like naan. The warm water in the recipe for naan roti was replaced with warm milk sweetened with sugar and flavored with saffron and cardamom.
In Iran, there are slight regional variations in the preparation of sheermal. As such, it is sometimes sold as a souvenir when travelling between the regions.
In India, especially in the city of Lucknow, shirmal is sometimes served with kababs, tikkia, or alongside nihari.
