Shirmal is a traditional saffron-flavored flatbread with origins in Persian cuisine, introduced to the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal era. This mildly sweet bread, enriched with milk and ghee, became a beloved part of Mughlai cuisine, especially in regions like Lucknow and Hyderabad. Shirmal’s name, derived from the Persian words for milk and kneading, reflects its rich texture and subtle sweetness. Over time, it has become a symbol of the cultural fusion between Persian and Indian culinary traditions, often enjoyed alongside festive dishes in South Asian cuisine.
