Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Shahi Toast
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of saffron to the sugar syrup.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the bread to prevent it from absorbing too much oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying, fry in batches to maintain even crispiness.
- Adjust the soaking time in the syrup according to your preference; longer soaking time will result in a more saturated and sweeter toast.
