Shahi tukda recipe which is similar to or same as the Hyderabadi Double ka meetha, that has originated during the Mughal reign.
Ingredients
Bread slices- 8, Ghee- 200 ml, Sugar- 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup, Cardamom powder- 1 tsp
Water- 1 cup, Milk- 500 ml, Pistachios- for decoration, Cake confettis- for decoration, Saffron stands- 4-8, Whole cardamom-2
How to make
Cut
the bread into triangles. Start making rabri by heating milk. As the
milk boils the cream will come up. Remove it to the side of the vessel
using a spoon and keep stirring the milk. Add 1/4 cup sugar and cardamom
powder and stir till the milk reduces to 1/4th and is thick. Let the
rabri cool on the counter top.
Make a sugar syrup by boiling 1/2
cup sugar in one cup water. Add two whole cardamoms and few strands of
saffron to this sugar syrup while boiling it. When it reaches one string
consistency, (that is when you press the sugar syrup between your thumb
and a finger it should stretch like a strand),the syrup is done.
Now
heat ghee in a pan and deep fry the bread slices over low flame. Take
the bread slices from the ghee and dunk it in the sugar syrup. Set the
slices then on a plate after draining the excess sugar syrup. Pour the
rabri over the sugar dunked bread slices and decorate with pistachios
and cake decors. Chill before serving. You can have it immediately too.
Thaw the shahi tukda before serving if you refrigerate it.
