Shahi Tukda -Vegan Richa

Attempt Shahi Tukda – a royal dessert that’s straightforward to whip up! Baked buttered slices of bread soaked in cardamom-scented syrup and topped with vegan cashew saffron Rabri custard.

Shahi Tudka – I consider this as a Royal French toast. Nevertheless it’s really extra of a dessert than a breakfast meals. It’s a candy Mughlai dessert typically made by frying bread in ghee (clarified butter) or oil, then soaked in a cardamon scented sugar syrup then topped with Indian Rabri. The Rabri which is a saffron scented thickened milk pudding may be made thick or skinny and the bread soaked in it utterly or served with the Rabri topping.

On this Vegan model and my lighter take of shahi tukda, I bake the bread. Baking toasts the bread evenly. You should utilize a toaster too, however the bread doesn’t toast evenly or fry out sufficient and may get soggy rapidly that method. I make a thick custard like Rabri with all the identical scrumptious flavors and assemble and serve.

I bake the sliced bread as an alternative of frying, after which coat it in some sugar syrup and high it with a scrumptious vegan rabri. Oooh, la la!

Regardless of the sugar syrup, it’s not a cloyingly candy dessert as Indian mithai are usually. It’s creamy and scrumptious with the crisp toast lightening it up.

This can be a nice dessert to serve throughout Ramadan. Its straightforward scrumptious and festive.
Don’t have saffron? Use cardamom as an alternative or use different flavors like rose or vanilla.
