No Fry Shahi Tukda | Double ka Meetha | Healthy Recipe | Holi Special

Shahi Tukda is a rich dessert prepared by frying small pieces of bread in ghee, dipped in sugar syrup and topped with rich rabdi and garnished with dry fruits. It has its roots from the Mughal period. Literally, the word Shahi means royal and tukda means piece or bite. So basically put together it means that if you are having shahi tukda then you are having a royal piece or royal bite.!

Preparation of this royal delicacy is not that difficult. In this recipe it is not fried, instead it was air fried to make it healthy. If you don’t have any air fryer you can toast in a toaster or in a skillet.

 

Ingredients (Serves 2)

For Rabdi

Full Fat Milk – ½ Litre

Sugar – 2 Tbsp

Milk Powder – 20 gms

Dry Fruits – 1 Tbsp each of chopped Cashewnut, Almond and Pistachio

Cardamom Powder – ½ Tsp

 

For Sugar syrup

Sugar – 1 Cup

Water – 1 Cup

Orange Colour – 1 pinch

 

For Fried Bread

Bread – 2 slices

Ghee – 1 to 2 Tbsp

Chopped Pistachio for garnish

 

Method

·         Boil the milk and bring to a boil. Keep stirring it continuously and let it become half.

·         Add sugar, cardamom powder. Add chopped dry fruits. Let it rest for some time.

·         In another pan add 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water and cook on high heat so that sugar dissolves.

·         Add one pinch of orange colour and mix. Keep it aside.

·         For no fry I have used Air fryer. You can use a bread toaster or you can use a skillet.

·         Brush some ghee on both sides of bread slices, Air fry at 180 degrees for 5 minutes or till golden brown.

·         Cut the bread slices into triangle.

·         For serving, soak the bread slices into warm sugar syrup for 3-4 minutes. The soaking time depends on how crisp or soft you want the bread slices to be. The more time you soak they will become softer.

·         Arrange the soaked bread slices in a serving plate and pour the rabdi on top of the bread slices.

·         Garnish with some sliced pistachio
