Hi friends,
You must be missing dessert recipes..sorry...I am not too much into sweets..not that I don't love them but I am a little careful with calories but then nothing is bad in moderation so today I would let you indulge...try this lazeez dessert recipe called Shahi toast/ Shahi tukda.
SHAHI TOAST/ SHAHI TUKDA:
INGREDIENTS:
White bread slices
Cheeni (Sugar)
Kesar (Saffron)
Badam (Almonds)
Pista (Pistachio)
Tel (Oil)
Doodh (Milk)
METHOD:
Remove the hard edges of bread slices and cut them diagonally. Deep fry them till golden brown.
Put the milk to boil and let it thicken till it looks like rabdi or condensed milk. Add some saffron strands and sugar in this thickened milk.
Make sugar syrup of double strand consistency- for this we take sugar and water in equal quantities and boil it in a thick bottomed pan. For testing the consistency take a drop of sugar syrup on a plate and touch it with your finger...be careful, it's hot. Now lift the finger and see number of strands that are being made between your finger tip and sugar syrup drop. Thicker the sugar syrup, more strands it will form.
Now soak the golden brown bread slices in this sugar syrup for 2 minutes..take them out and arrange on serving platter.
Garnish with thick saffron milk, shavings of pista and badam and some strands of saffron.
You can serve it hot or cold as per your loved ones taste.
TIP:
To avoid the lengthy process of thickening the milk, you can also use condensed milk but remember that will add up to sweetness of the dish. I usually balance the sweetness of this dish by the quantity of sugar I use with thickened milk...most of the time I don't use sugar in the milk.
You can also use silver foil over the garnishing to give it that extra traditional look.
Enjoy...
