This dessert is one of my favourite versions of Shahi Tukray – a famous festive specialty from the Mughalai cuisine. Just as the name says (shahi : royal and tukriaan : pieces )<\/em>, the luscious milk and bread dessert is an ultimate decadence and worthy of serving at special occasions.\u00a0<\/p>

The bread is first fried in ghee or oil and then dipped in a saffron and cardamom infused sugar syrup, then topped with a rich milk-based pudding and eventually garnished with pistachios and decorated with edible silver leaves and rose petals – all things royal, right?<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What bread to use?<\/strong>
You can use any\u00a0kind of bread\u00a0but white\u00a0bread is the best choice for this recipe! You can remove the crust for a prettier appearance or leave it on. Make sure to fry it crispy without having to compromise on the golden colour.<\/p>

Fried or toasted?<\/strong>
There are recipes that call for the bread to be baked instead of fried for a lighter version.\u00a0 However, to get the true flavour, it really should be fried. It is a royal dessert, so indulge yourself and enjoy fully!<\/p>

What consistency of syrup?
<\/strong>The sugar syrup needs to have a one string consistency and completely cooled before soaking the bread. If its too runny or warm, the bread will turn soggy and chewy.\u00a0<\/p>

Can it be made ahead?
<\/strong>For this variant of Shahi Tukra, you can prepare everything well in advance. A last minute assembling is recommended to ensure a crispy bread base. But if you prefer a slightly soft bread base, assemble a few hours ahead of serving.<\/p>

Choice of toppings?
<\/strong>Pistachios add a very royal taste to the creamy cheese pudding. Feel free to substitute with your favourite nuts.
The edible silver leaves are absolutely safe to consume. So are the rose petals (if using any)!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
