As you lift the lid, that mouthwatering scent fills the air, and you can’t help but think, “What could be the perfect companion to this delicious dish?” That’s when you remember Sheermal—slightly sweet, saffron-infused sheermal that takes your meal from delicious to unforgettable.
Let’s explore three must-try dishes where Sheermal truly shines as the perfect side.
Whether you’re a lover of hearty curries or crave something with a twist, these pairings will make you wonder how you ever enjoyed these dishes without Sheermal by their side!
What exactly is sheermal?
Sheermal has been a delight for centuries, originating from the royal kitchens of Persia before becoming a beloved part of Mughal cuisine.
What makes Sheermal so special?
It’s a slightly sweet, saffron-infused delight, soft and flaky like a pastry. The unique process of making Sheermal involves mixing flour, milk, sugar, and a touch of ghee to create a rich dough, which is left to rise until perfectly fluffy.
The dough is then rolled out, brushed with saffron-infused milk, and baked to golden perfection, giving it that signature color and subtle sweetness.
But the real magic of Sheermal lies in how it pairs with other foods, adding a gentle sweetness that balances and enhances the flavors of your favorite dishes.
