SHAHI TUKDA

Hi friends,

Shahi Tukda is a simple Indian dessert recipe. It can be easily made at home. It was made by the royal chefs for the Mughal kings and hence the name. I have posted a simplified version of the recipe that I have been doing for the past many years.

INGREDIENTS:

• Bread slices- 4; cut into desired shapes
• Butter - 3tbsp
• Milk - 1/2 - 3/4 cup
• Saffron strands - 10-15 nos; soaked in 2tbsp of milk
• Sugar - 2-3tbsp
• Cardamoms-3nos

METHOD:

• Toast the cut slices of bread with butter in a griddle or tawa 
• Arrange it in a bowl or plate
• Boil milk in a pan 
• Add the soaked saffron and cardamoms 
• Remove from fire once it thickens to the desired consistency 
• Pour it on top of the toasted bread
• Serve

Tips:

• Ideally the bread slices are fried in ghee and then milk is added
• You can refrigerate this and serve chilled also
• The method of toasting it with butter is a healthy alternative to deep frying in ghee
