My dear friend Manali has been asking me to blog this recipe ever since she heard from me about it. First time I made this , she was with me when I shopped the ingredients. That also happened to be our first shopping together. This time I had some bread left and my experience taught me the leftover bread always ended up in garbage after they went stale so to salvage them , I decided on Shahi Tukda again. Moreover I had no pics of last time so could not blog them until I tried again so this post is dedicated to Manali.
Ingredients
Bread slices- 10
Milk- 200 ml
Cardamom- 4-5
Condensed milk- 500 ml
Ghee- 100gm
Directions
Cut the edges off the bread and slice them into smaller triangles.
Heat ghee in a pan and fry the bread .
Drain the slices and keep them aside.
At the same time boil the milk in a saucepan. Add condensed milk and cadramom powder. Cook the same till it thickens.
In a serving bowl spread the slices and pour the milk over. Cool the bowl in refrigerator so that it thickens.
Shahi Tukda is a mughalai dish and the first time I had this was at Chandni Chowk in Delhi.Many stalls were run by families over generations some of who even claimed to have inherited this recipe from the Mughals. From my interaction with the stall owner I had a rough idea of how they made it and what surprised me the most was that it tasted so sweet without condensed milk.So give a shot at the royal bread dessert.
