Ingredients
For the Sweet Milk Sauce
- 1/2 cup Milk condensed
- 2 Tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Corn Flour
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Cardamom ground
For the Fried Bread
- 2 slices Bread cut each slice into 4 triangles, white
- 1/4 cup Refined Oil or ghee
For the Garnish (Optional)
- 2 Tbsp Almonds chopped
Instructions
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the condensed milk, milk, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth. This creates a luscious base for the sauce.
- Stir in the ground cardamom. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. The cardamom adds a warm, aromatic touch.
- Heat the oil or ghee in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the bread triangles until golden brown and crispy. This creates a delightful textural contrast to the creamy sauce.
- Place the fried bread triangles on a serving platter. Pour the warm sweet milk sauce generously over the bread, ensuring each piece is coated. Garnish with chopped almonds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a romantic presentation, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the bread before frying.
- Infuse your milk with a few strands of saffron or a splash of rose water along with the cardamom powder for a luxurious aroma and subtle floral note.
- For a lighter dessert, swap frying with air-frying or toasting the bread slices, then lightly brush them with ghee for flavor.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios, edible dried rose petals, or silver leaf (varak) for a festive touch.
Expert Tips
- Ensure the bread slices are evenly coated in the milk mixture, allowing them to soak for the right amount of time to prevent them from becoming soggy or remaining too dry.
- Adjust the sweetness of the syrup by adding more or less sugar depending on your preference. Taste and adjust before dipping the fried bread.
- Serve Shahi Tukda warm for the best experience. The contrast of the warm, crispy bread with the cool, creamy rabri is delightful.
Storage Instructions
- Shahi Tukda is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently reheat in a microwave or oven before serving.
