Ingredients

• 6 pieces White bread slices
• 500 ml Milk
• 6 tablespoons Sugar
• 4 tablespoons Condensed milk
• 4 pods Cardamom pods (crushed)
• 1 pinch Saffron strands
• 3 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
• 2 tablespoons Almonds (sliced or chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios (sliced or chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Rose water
• 1 sheet Silver leaf (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the white bread slices into diagonals to form triangles.

Step 2

Heat ghee in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bread triangles until they are golden brown and crispy. Set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess ghee.

Step 3

In a wide saucepan, heat milk on medium flame and bring it to a gentle boil. Let it simmer until it reduces to around 75% of its original quantity, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

Step 4

Add sugar, condensed milk, crushed cardamom pods, and saffron strands to the reduced milk. Stir well and simmer for another 5 minutes to infuse flavors. Remove the milk mixture from heat.

Step 5

Assemble the dessert by arranging the fried bread triangles in a serving dish. Pour the warm milk mixture evenly over the bread pieces to soak them.

Step 6

Garnish with chopped almonds, pistachios, and a sprinkle of rose water. For an extra touch of elegance, add silver leaf on top if desired.

Step 7

Allow the Shahi Tukra to cool slightly or chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. Serve warm or cold for a luxurious dessert experience.
