Print Recipe
Course Dessert
Cuisine Indian, Pakistani

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 3/4 - 1 can condensed milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 10 slices white bread
  • Oil (as nneded for frying)
  • crushed pistachios or almonds (garnishing)

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan on medium heat, add all the 3 milks and let it come to boil.
  • Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. It will slightly reduce and thicken.
  • Meanwhile, cut up the bread slices- either triangular or rectangular.
  • In a frying pan on medium heat, heat up the oil and shallow fry the bread slices until they turn brown and crispy (don't burn them).
  • Keep placing them on tissue to absorb any excess oil.

Arrangement:

  • In a wide dish, arrange the bread slices and pour the milk over it. Make sure that every slice is soaked. Reserve any left over milk to serve it along with the shahi tukray.
  • Garnish with crushed pistachios.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and enjoy.

Notes

  1. Start with 3/4 can of condensed milk, taste and add more if needed.
  2. Place fried bread slices on tissue to absorb excess oil.
  3. Make sure all slices are soaking in the milk. This will soften and given flavor to them.
  4. The recipe can be doubled or halved.
