Sheermal
The story
Sheermal is a beloved saffron-infused flatbread with roots in Persian and Awadhi cuisines. The name comes from the Persian words 'sheer' (milk) and 'mal' (sweet), highlighting its milky richness. It's believed to have been introduced to India by Mughal emperors and made its way to Lucknow, where it became a delicacy. Sheermal's vibrant color, soft texture, and delicate sweetness make it a popular choice for special occasions and festivals like Ramadan.
