Zafrani Shahi Tukray

Benetta Lobo

Shahi Tukray is a very traditional Meetha which dates back from the Mughal Dynasty. It is a very simple dessert, which can be quickly prepared and when garnished and served, it definitely looks like a fancy dessert.

The main Ingredient of this dish is definitely bread slices. You may use either white or brown bread depending on your choice. Some people dip the Bread slices in Sugar syrup before putting the Milk Mixture, but in this recipe I have mixed the sugar with the Milk.

If you have any left over bread slices, you may prepare this easy and delicious dish and "Wow", your friends and family!
