Shahi Tukda

Shahi Tukda is a traditional Indian dessert made of crispy bread slices soaked in a rich, aromatic saffron-flavored milk syrup. Usually garnished with chopped nuts like almonds and pistachios, it combines the textures of crunchy bread and smooth, sweet milk. Often served warm or chilled, it’s a popular treat during festivals and special occasions, celebrated for its luxurious taste and delightful aroma. The dish’s name, meaning "Royal Cut" in Persian, reflects its regal origins and the indulgent experience it offers.
