Taaftaan, Sheermaal, Kulcha

Re: Taaftaan, Sheermaal, Kulcha

I think lavash is originally Arab, I believe Lebanese eat it too. Similar to chapatis/rotis.

Re: Taaftaan, Sheermaal, Kulcha

I read somewhere that it is originally Armenian, but is also popular in Iran, parts of Afghanistan, Turkey and the Caucasus.

The variety eaten in Kashmir differs from what I've seen elsewhere. It's a bit thicker and not as soft (it's more dense in texture).

What is the link between Iranian city Taftan and Taaftaan… :hmmm:

Re: Taaftaan, Sheermaal, Kulcha

There are these katlammas on mazars, haven't tasted them nor do have any desire.

Re: Taaftaan, Sheermaal, Kulcha

How common is Shirmal in Pakistan? It’s quite similar to Taftan.

Re: Taaftaan, Sheermaal, Kulcha

We usually see them at dawat, wedding and majlis…

Sheermaal and Taataan two different bread or roti.

Sheermaal is more sweeter and thinner than Taaftaan.

In Pakistan, is it made with milk or water?

In Iran, I’ve seen it eaten as a breakfast food but it isn’t too sweet. It’s more on the savoury-sweet side.

Re: Taaftaan, Sheermaal, Kulcha

I don’t know how it made… :hmmm:But glaze applied on Sheermal…

Nakki di Roti (unleavened corn bread). Always served with fresh sarson da saag (mustrad greens) and home made butter. A quintessential Punjabi dish. Definitely a much cherished winter specialty.

Khandaari Naan. Long triangle naans, I remember eating them in Khyber Pakhtoonkha. But I don’t know if they’re native to KPK.

I’ve seen Afghan women smacking huge rotis in clay oven in KPK when we passed Afghan refugee camp in Peshawar. It was fascinated by the size of rotis. I would take me a full to finish up that roti, even if I eat three times a day, lol.

Makki di roti is served with laal mirch / harri mirch chatni here in Karachi (Urdu speaking families). That is too much teekha for my taste.

No Saag?
