A quick and easy festive dessert made with bread, ghee, sugar milk and nuts. This dessert has originated during the Mughal reign. It is said that this dessert is mostly enjoyed by the royals during festive Iftar meals.
Ingredients:-
Bread Slices – 4 Nos.
Refined Oil – 1/2 cup
Clarified Butter (Ghee) – 2 tbsp
Sugar – 1 cup
Milk – 300 ml
Saffron Strands – 4 to 5 Nos.
Condensed Milk – 60ml
Cardamom powder – 5 g
Kewra water – 1/2 tsp
Broken nuts and raisins
Procedure
Firstly add 400 ml of milk in a pan and heat it, after that add 1/2 cup of sugar in the milk and stir well so that the sugar gets dissolved with the milk. Then add 60 ml of condensed milk to thicken it and add 4 to 5 strands of saffron to give it a nice saffron colour along with the taste. Let it get cooked for 4 to 5minutes.
By this time get another pan and add 1/2 cup of refined oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee and allow it to heat. Then cut all the bread slices diagonally as shown in the video and put them in the pan for frying, until the slices become crisp and turn golden brown in colour. Once the bread slices get fried properly and become golden brown in colour, take out all the bread slices from the pan and drain the excess oil in the pan and pat it dry, with a kitchen towel very carefully.
Next, add 5 grams of cardamom powder and mix well then wait for the milk to get a boil. Then add all the broken nuts and raisins in the milk and stir well with a ladle until it gets reduced to half and has turned into kheer. Remember to keep stirring the milk otherwise, it may get burnt from the bottom.
Arrange the fried bread slices in a pan as shown in the pic. Then pour the kheer on top of the bread slices. Then add 1/2 tsp of kewra water for flavouring and cook it for another 1 minute in a low flame so that the bread slices get soaked in the kheer properly. By this time the kheer will get further reduced. Then turn off the flame and let it cool down.
Your Shahi Tukda is ready. Garnish it with broken nuts and serve it.
