Sheermal is a famous Mughlai dish, which is popular in the Indo-Pak continent. With its sweet flavour and saffron-golden colour, sheermal roti is a delicious delight. Traditionally made in a tandoor, the Mughlai roti derives its taste from the milk it is kneaded with. You can also prepare it on a tava and enjoy its rich and royal flavour.
