Sheermal, cake & kehwa
I’m in love with this combination ✨

Which country is this?

Never had sheermal. Is it like naan?
sneha
It’s local Kashmiri bread, cake and drink.

Similar - with tons of sesame seeds.

No, it’s more like a biscuit/rusk but with crumbly texture. This is local pulwama variety which is savoury.

Actually used quite a bit in Middle East also - probably a different variant to the one in Kashmir - but called the same

Safe to dip it in the kahwa?
sneha
It will melt. Better have a bite and a sip of kehwa.

The middle eastern variant is sweeter I think.

The Irani and Afghani bakeries / restaurants tend to serve it with main course dishes.
Will compare it against these in Kashmir in 2 weeks 😁
Edit: Now that I think of it - it is kinda sweet.

I had this at a friend’s place. It’s homemade. But I’m sure you’ll find it at the bakeries.
