Instructions
 

Preparing the Rabri

  • Simmer 1 liter of full-fat milk in a thick-bottomed pan until reduced and slightly thickened. This will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour over low heat. Stir frequently, scraping the sides and bottom to prevent burning. Add 3 tablespoons of organic coconut sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder towards the end. Continue to simmer until the desired creamy consistency is reached.

Preparing the Bread

  • Remove the crusts from 6 slices of brown bread. If using a doughnut cutter, cut the bread into rounds; otherwise, cut into squares or rectangles. Gently toast the bread slices in 3 tablespoons of ghee until lightly golden brown on both sides. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess ghee.

Making the Sugar Syrup

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup organic coconut sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until a one-thread consistency is reached (a thin strand forms when lifted with a spoon). Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder.

Assembling the Shahi Tukra

  • Dip the toasted bread slices into the warm coconut sugar syrup, ensuring they are evenly coated. Arrange the soaked bread slices neatly in a serving dish. Pour the prepared rabri evenly over the bread slices. Garnish with fried almonds and cashews.

Serving

  • Serve your Rich Royal Healthy Organic Coconut Sugar Shahi Tukra immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Shahi Tukra

  • For an even richer rabri, use high-quality, full-fat milk and simmer it for a longer duration.
  • Adjust the amount of coconut sugar in both the rabri and syrup to your desired sweetness level. You can always add more later.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the bread. Fry in batches to ensure even browning.
  • If the sugar syrup starts to crystallize, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of water and gently reheat until smooth.
