To make Shahi tukda, all you need is:
For the Rabri:
– 3 cups milk
– 3 tbsp sugar
– 3 small elachi, seeds crushed
– 4-5 saffron strands
For the sugar syrup:
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup water
– 4-5 saffron strands
– 3 tbsp ghee
– 5 slices of bread, cut into half
– chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
– In a large saucepan, boil milk until it reduces to half. Stir occasionally. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
– Add sugar, elachi seeds and saffron strands and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Let the mixture cool and refrigerate.
– In another saucepan, heat sugar and water until the sugar melts completely. Add saffron strands and let the syrup cook until it thickens into a thread-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Set aside the syrup.
– In another pan, heat ghee and fry the halved bread slices until they’re golden brown. Place them on a tissue paper to get rid of extra ghee.
– Pour sugar syrup onto the bread slices, followed by the chilled rabri. Garnish with chopped nuts!
