  2. 1 teaspoonYeast
  3. 3 tablespoonsWarm water
  4. 1Large egg
  5. 4 tablespoonsSugar
  6. 1/4 cupGhee
  7. 1/2 cupMilk
  8. Saffron strands a big pinch infused in 3 tablespoons milk

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a wide bowl, take flour.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, add yeast. Dissolve yeast in 3 tablespoons lukewarm water. Let the yeast activate. Wait for 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add sugar to the yeast mixture. Dissolve sugar in it. Pour this solution to the flour. Before pouring make a well at the centre of the flour.

  4. 4

    Pour one egg. Keep mixing.

  5. 5

    Add ghee and mix.

  6. 6

    Add milk gradually while mixing the other hand. At first, the dough will look like a sticky batter. Keep mixing with a spatula. At one point, you will achieve a soft dough.

  7. 7

    Cover the dough with a moist Muslin cloth. Rest the dough in a warm place until it doubles in size.

  8. 8

    The dough doubles in size after some time.

  9. 9

    Divide the dough into balls that are little bigger than the medium size. The consistency of the dough will be like ping pong ball. Wouldn’t stick.

  10. 10

    Grease your fingers with ghee and pat the ball gently to make a medium sized thick roti. Make prints on the Sheermal with a fork. Press fork and make prints as shown.

  11. 11

    Heat the iron tawa to a smoking point. Reduce the flame to low. Brush saffron milk on the sheermal. Place it on the hot tawa. Slow cook in low heat.

  12. 12

    Once the upper side starts puffing lightly, flip side. Brush saffron milk and cook. The bread puffs beautifully with golden spots. The aroma fills the house.

  13. 13

    Repeat steps to cook other Sheermals. Sheermals are ready to serve with a cup of khawa.
