METHOD
Start by adding, flour, salt, and sugar. You can adjust the flour quantity as per your need. Then add saffron milk, oil, and yeast.
For saffron milk, add some saffron to warm milk and leave it for 10 minutes. For yeast, take 30 to 40 ml of lukewarm milk. Add 1 tbsp sugar and yeast, mix well, and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes. Then you can use them for roti.
Now add water little by little and knead a soft dough. Grease the dough with some oil and cover it. Leave the dough for 1 to 2 hours.
When it doubles in size, it is ready to use. Take an orange-sized portion from the dough. Stick some chopped nuts on one side of the dough. Here I only used almonds. You can also use cashews, Pistachios, etc.
Now roll the dough in a medium-sized circle. Cook the one side of the bread for 40 to 50 seconds on medium flame.
Flip it and again cook it for 40 to 50 seconds. Then coat the roti with 1 to 2 tbsp clarified butter (ghee). Sheermal is ready to serve. Serve it warm with any curry. Enjoy.
