I am trying to get rid of some of my recipes from my Drafts.
Cutting to the chase, Here is my favorite dessert. (as if I dont like other desserts! because I live for sweets!)
This is a Mughal Dish and it is also called Shahi Tukre.
Ingredients:
Bread Slices - 8
Sugar - 2 cups
Heavy Cream - 1/2 cup
Water - 1 cup
Saffron - 1 pinch
Mixed nuts - 1/2 cup fried in ghee(Pistachios, Almonds and Cashew nuts)
Khoya - 2-3 tbsp(optional)
Cardomom - 2to 3 Pods crushed
Oil for frying. (Ghee tastes better than oil, if you can afford)
Preparation Method:
First remove the crust for all the Bread slices and cut the bread into triangle or square shapes. I prefer triangle shape because the more smaller you cut, the more oil it absorbs.
Shallow fry them in hot oil and remove them when they are slightly golden brown.
In the meanwhile make a thin sugar syrup with saffron and cardamom.
Arrange the fried bread on a tray and add the sugar syrup over.
Let this soad for 5-10 minutes and then pour the heavy cream on the top.
Garnish with khoya(optional) and fried nuts.
This is the most interesting Hyderabadi dessert ever.
But guess what "Dessert spelled backwards is Stressed". Coincidence? I think not!"
