Lakewood Shubham
What it is
Shubham is a type of Indian flatbread, often made from whole wheat flour. It is a staple in many Indian households, known for its soft texture and slightly chewy bite. This particular product is prepared for convenience, allowing for quick meal preparation. It is typically round and thin, designed to be cooked on a griddle or pan.
How people cook with it
This flatbread is a versatile accompaniment to a wide range of Indian dishes. It serves as an edible utensil for scooping up curries and dals.

- Serving with yogurt
To prepare Shubham, gently warm it on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook for about 30 seconds to a minute per side, until it puffs up slightly and develops small brown spots. You can add a small amount of ghee or oil to the pan for a richer flavor and softer texture, though it is also delicious cooked dry. Ensure it is heated through before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other Indian breads like naan, Shubham is typically unleavened and cooked on a flat surface rather than in a tandoor. This results in a softer, less airy texture than naan, making it ideal for everyday meals.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an authentic and convenient way to enjoy Indian cuisine will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused Shubham in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature to maintain freshness. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but they may become slightly firmer. Reheat gently before serving.
