Ingredients
For sugar syrup
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Strip off the corners of the bread and cut into small triangles, set aside.
- Soak saffron strands in warm milk, keep aside.
- Prepare sugar syrup by heating sugar and water in a pan until a syrup like consistency is formed. It should be thick and sticky thats all, dont need to check for string consistency etc. Keep aside.
- Boil milk, add the saffron milk to it. Once it boils and shrinks to half, add the chopped nuts, bring to a boil and switch off. The mixture is called rabri. Refrigerate it till use.
- Toast the bread with ghee in a non-stick tawa such that it becomes crisp. You can do them in batches. You can use ur oven or toaster too. It can deep fried in ghee too.
- Soak each slice in the sugar syrup and arrange it in a plate. Then pour the rabri over the bread slices to soak well. Garnish with chopped nuts toasted in ghee. Serve chilled.
- Toasted bread soaked in sugar syrup...yummm Shahi Tukda!
Notes
- Either deep fry the bread slices in ghee or toast them. Dont deep fry/toast in oil as it will spoil the taste.
- The bread slices should be crispy else when soaked in milk it will become soggy.
- If you wish you can cut the sides of the bread. I didnt find any difference after soaking so usually I don't remove the sides of the bread.
- You can use either white or brown bread. I used white here.
