    What is shahi tukda ?

    Bread ka shahi tukda or double ka meetha is one of the easiest desserts. Shahi means royal and bread tukda means piece of bread. You just need to fry loaves ,dip it into the sugar syrup and garnish with sweet rabri and nuts.It was supposedly developed in Indian subcontinent in Mughal times.this combination of bread rabri & sugar syrup makes it amazing

    This shahi toast is a royal dessert and easy one too surprisingly. You can make it every time you have some loaves or rabdi left over. It is delectable and super yum. One of the desserts which combine both the crispness of fried double roti and the mushy creamy rabri. Perfect to end the meal after a good spicy jackfruit biryani.I love sweet breads be it with marmalade or strawberry preserve or just with some ghee or cream and a sprinkle of sugar.

    Nostalgia

    My mom makes amazing Shahi tukra.It is a very easy dish when you got guests coming. Bread was always at home growing up.She was a working mum and always had to be on her toes. Yet,she was always up to make desserts no matter how busy.Every festival deserved a treat so that we learn it to.Now as a mum myself I wonder how much work she did without complaining and with so much perfection.This is her recipe served with the same love and perfection.

    Ingredients

    Shahi tukda ingredients include

    • Fried bread (great way of using left over bread too as it is stiff and holds good under rabri)
    • Sugar syrup with saffron
    • Rabri (sweet made with reduced milk) or condensed milk (cheat's option)
    • Nuts

    How to make shahi tukda ?

    • Just fry the bread in ghee and keep it aside with other ingredients.
    • Boil the water with sugar and add some saffron strands to it. Saffron gives it an amazing color and flavor. Ensure sugar dissolves totally. Let it cool completely before you use it.
    • Dip the fried bread in sugar syrup from both sides. Serve it on a plate.

    How to make shahi toast in air fryer?

    • We have used brown bread instead of white for air fry toast, as it gets a golden crisp color and texture which we felt was better than white bread. Remaining ingredients are the same

    Substitution

    If you do not have rabdi ready, you can also prepare shahi tukda with condensed milk on the fried bread. Serving shahi toast with condensed milk gives you similar taste. However, the output is not as delicious as the original version. It is a quick fix. You can pour condensed milk over fried tukda, just before serving, if you do not have time to make rabri.

    Storage

    For best results, store the bread, rabdi and sugar syrup separately in refrigerator as the dish might become very soggy after sometime. We did eat air fryer one after 2 days after storing in refrigerator and it still tastes good.

    FAQs

    How do you condense milk?

    Boil full fat milk and add powdered sugar to it. Reduce it to half on a low flame.

    Why is it called double ka meetha?

    Bread is generally referred to as double roti in Hindi, as it is a bread which swells up to double after baking. Meetha means sweet. As it is a sweet made with bread it is called as double ka meetha in Hyderabad.

    How to avoid the tukra from being soggy?

    Serve the bread immediately after putting rabri on it else it will get soggy.
