Delicious Shahi Tukda Recipe For Diwali 2024

Producer:  Peuli Bakshi

INGREDIENTS: • 4 slices of white bread (crusts removed and cut into triangles) • 1 cup milk • 1/2 cup condensed milk • 1/4 cup sugar • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder • A few strands of saffron (soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk) • 2 tbsp ghee • Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, and cashews) • 1 tsp rose water (optional)

Boil milk in a saucepan, then reduce the heat to simmer. Add condensed milk, sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron. 

Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly.  Then set aside.

Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Fry the bread triangles in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.

To add more sweetness, you can boil 1/4 cup of water with 2 tbsp sugar. Then dip the fried bread slices in the prepared syrup.

Place the fried bread slices on a serving plate. Pour the warm rabri over the bread, ensuring each slice is well-coated.

Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the Shahi Tukda. You can also add a few more saffron strands and a drizzle of rose water.

For better taste, refrigerate the Shahi Tukda for at least 30 minutes. This allows the bread to soak up the rabri.
