Ingredients
For the Milk Reduction
For Frying the Bread
- 8 slices Bread such as brioche or challah for best results, use thick slices of bread
- 1/2 cup Clarified Butter vegetable oil can be substituted
For Garnishing
- 1/4 cup Nuts and Fruit almonds, cashews, chopped pistachios, dried, dry, etc., mixed, raisins
- Pinch Rose Petals dried or fresh, for garnish
- Small piece Silver Foil for decorative purposes
Instructions
Prepare the Milk Reduction
- Boil 500ml of milk in a low flame until it reduces to about half its original volume. This takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
Infuse with Spices and Sugar
- Once the milk is reduced, gently stir in the saffron strands, sugar, and cardamom powder. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Bread
- Cut the bread into heart shapes or squares (approximately 2 inches). You can also use cookie cutters for more intricate shapes.
Fry the Bread and Dry Fruits
- Heat the ghee in a pan over medium heat. Carefully fry the bread slices until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, lightly toast the chopped dry fruits until fragrant. Remove and set aside.
Assemble the Shahi Tukda
- Arrange the fried bread slices on a serving plate or individual bowls.
Pour the Milk Mixture
- Gently pour the reduced, spiced milk over the bread slices, ensuring they are well soaked.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle the toasted dry fruits generously over the soaked bread slices.
- Garnish with a few rose petals and small pieces of silver foil for an elegant touch. Serve warm or chilled, as desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Shahi Tukda
- For an extra rich flavor, use full-fat milk and high-quality ghee.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the bread; fry in batches to ensure even browning.
- If using fresh rose petals, make sure to gently wash them before using.
- Allow the Shahi Tukda to sit for at least 15 minutes after pouring the milk mixture to allow the bread to absorb the flavors fully. Chilling enhances the flavors even further!
