Shahi tukra with condensed milk, its a simple and easy to prepare dessert cum sweet, has nice flavour of saffron and cardamom. So here is delicious shahi tukra recipe for you all to try.

Ingredients

• Full Cream Milk 2 1/2 cup
• Sweet Condensed Milk 1/4 cup
• Sugar 1 to 2 tbsp
• Saffron 4 to 5 strands
• Cardamom Powder 1/4 tsp
• White Bread / Brown Bread 4 slices
• Grated Paneer / Khoya/ Milk Powder 2 tbsp (option)
• Ghee 2 to 3 tbsp
• Cashew Nuts 1/2 tbsp , chopped
• Pistachio 1/2 tbsp, chopped
• Almonds 1/2 tbsp, chopped
• Raisins 1/2 tbsp

Method

Mix milk, condensed milk, sugar and saffron strands in a thick bottomed pan and bring to boil on medium flame. When it starts to boil, reduce flame to low and boil until mixture turns thick and reduces to around 1 1/2 cups, for around 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in between to prevent sticking.

If using grated paneer/ khoya / milk powder( mix with warm water) add now and stir well. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Turn off heat and let the mixture thickend cool at room temperature.

Remove sides of bread slices and cut each slice into 4 equal squares. Heat a non stick pan with ghee and shallow fry the bread pieces until bottom surface turns crispy and golden brown on low flame. Flip them and shallow fry until other side turns crispy and golden brown. Transfer them to a plate.

In the same pan toast the chopped nuts and raisins and keep it aside.

Arrange fried bread pieces in layer on serving plate. Pour prepared thickened milk mixture over it. Garnish with toasted nuts and raisins. Serve it hot or place it in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. 

NB: If you don't have paneer/ khoya/ milk powder no need to use, otherwise also the taste is good. I didn't use paneer/ khoya/ milk powder. You can adjust the sugar according to your taste. I prefer you to keep in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy cooking.
