Shahi Tukda is a decadent dessert made with crispy bread soaked in sugar syrup and topped with creamy rabri. This royal Mughlai delight is rich, flavorful, and perfect for special occasions.
2
Fry the Bread Cut bread slices into triangles or squares. Heat some ghee in a pan and fry the bread pieces until they turn crispy and golden brown. Once done, place them on a plate and set aside.
3
Prepare the Sugar Syrup In a pan, mix sugar and water and heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Add a pinch of cardamom powder and some saffron strands for flavor. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the syrup becomes slightly sticky, then turn off the heat.
4
Soak the Bread in Syrup Dip the fried bread pieces into the warm sugar syrup for about 5-10 seconds, making sure they absorb the sweetness without becoming too soft. Remove them and place them on a serving plate.
5
Prepare the Rabri In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat milk and let it simmer on low heat until it thickens. Add condensed milk (or sugar), cardamom, and saffron for extra richness. Stir occasionally and cook until the mixture turns creamy and thick.
6
Assemble the Shahi Tukda Pour the warm rabri generously over the sugar-soaked bread slices. Sprinkle some chopped almonds, pistachios, and saffron strands on top for a rich and festive look.

Serve & Enjoy Shahi Tukda can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy this royal Mughlai dessert, full of creamy, nutty, and sweet flavors.
