Shahi Tukda (Rich Bread Pudding)





 “Shahi Tukda” is a wonderful dessert made from just milk, Sugar & bread,  it could be simply prepared at home anytime.

Ingredients:
  • 6-8 slices - White Bread
  • 2 Tbsp - Ghee
  • 1 cup - Whole milk
  • 12 oz Evaporated milk
  • 2 Tbsp - Pista, blanched and chopped
  • 1/4 cup - Sugar
  • 1/4 cup - Water
  • 1 Tsp Cardamom, powdered
  • 4-5 Nos- Almonds, toasted and sliced
  • Few strands of saffron

Method:
  • Cut off the edges of the bread and cut it in a square. Keep aside for minimum 2 hours to make it a little hard
  • Make sugar syrup by mixing the sugar and water and let it boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the gas and add the powdered elachi into it and set aside.
  • Mix Evaporated milk & plain milk & boil. Then simmer it done and let it reduce to 1/4th the actual quantity. Keep stirring occasionally. The fat in the milk will solidify thus whisk with a fork once its off the stove. Add pista and few strands of saffron when the milk is thickened. Keep aside .
  • Apply ghee on the bread and lightly fry on a non stick pan until they turn golden brown on both sides.
  • Arrange the slices on a flat pan/tray
  • When the bread is still hot, generously pour sugar syrup over it. Wait until it seeps down.
  • Now spread the milk mixture on top of it and sprinkle some almonds, pista and saffron strands on top. Cover it and refrigerate
  • Serve chilled.
