look for sheermaal in your local desi grocers freezer. Dawn and Salwa are both sellign sheermaal in US this way.

Much better than making it yourself.

there's a sheermal on our dining table right now...and a taaftaan too

My nana use to bring it for breakfast in the morning. This word has such a flood of pleasant memories associated with it. I use to like them from a particular small bakery and he use to go out of his way to get it for me.

those frozen sheermals that recently came out at desi stores are a blessing...excellent stuff

tastes just like the fresh ones in pakistan after being toasted in a pan

I know!!! this is the reason why i asked for recipe. Cuz down in toronto, they are selling a packet of 3 sheermal for 3.49! i think thats kinda expensive still. I wanna try making them on my own, but i hope they turn out tasty as the ones in pakistan
