Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 4 slices of white bread
Milk
- 4 cups full-fat milk
Saffron
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron strands
Cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
Nuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the Rabri: Start by boiling the milk in a pan, stirring it continuously to prevent it from sticking. Once it thickens, add sugar, saffron, and cardamom, allowing the mixture to simmer until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Fry the Bread: Cut the bread into triangles and heat ghee in a skillet. Fry the bread pieces until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, then drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Assemble the Dessert: Layer the fried bread pieces on a serving plate and generously pour the warm rabri over them. Allow the flavors to meld together for a few minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your Shahi Tukda with chopped nuts for that delightful crunch, and serve it warm or chilled based on your preference. Enjoy the beauty of this classic dessert!
Notes
- Use the best quality milk and saffron for the richest flavor.
- Allow the milk to reduce slowly for a thicker and creamier rabri.
- Taste the rabri as you go and adjust the sweetness to match your preference.
- Ensure the ghee is hot enough before adding bread to get that perfect crispy texture.
- Let the assembled dessert sit for a while before serving to enhance the flavors.
