Shahi Tukray

From the past couple of Saturdays I have been trying them for breakfast. According to mother (the oh sooo perfect head cook) mine are cookoed too tender, in other words the bread needs to be deep fried.

If the crispiness in the bread is the issue than why not bake them crisp?

Oh and in case people are wondering how I make the shahi tukray:

  1. Cut the bread in squares removing the hard outside line.
  2. Fry them crispy brown in a frying pan.
  3. Heat up milk, cream & sugar [adding cinnamon or cardamom is optional]
  4. Lay down the fried bread in a tray and pour the milk over it.
  5. Cut pistachio, almonds or any other dry fruit of your liking on top. Raisins are always good.

Hmm, we bake 'em. Like fry the bread, cook the milk with khoya and badaam, pista, sugar, elaichi etc and then pour it on top of the bread and stick it in the oven. It's good that way because the toast really absorbs to milk and it thickens a lot.
