shahi tukda or shahi tukra recipe | hyderabadi double ka meetha recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a traditional bread pudding or bread dessert from hyderabadi cuisine and is prepared during the holy month of ramadan as iftar recipes. it is popularly known as shahi tukda but it is also known as double ka meetha because it is soaked in sugar syrup and rabdi.
i personally do not like this bread pudding or shahi tukda recipe, just because i feel it is extremely sweet. having said that, this is my husband’s favourite dessert recipe and he has a strong craving for it. i even prepare it with milk rusk or even with normal rusk for him and he even enjoys it. also according to him there is difference between shahi tukra or double ka meetha recipe. typically, double ka meetha involves dipping of bread slices in sugar syrup before soaking it thick rabdi recipe he prefers only soaking it with rabdi and does not like the extreme sweet it has to offer.
furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a perfect crisp shahi tukda recipe or shahi tukra recipe. firstly, i have deep fried the bread slices in ghee before soaking it in sugar syrup and rabdi. however it can also be deep fried in normal cooking oil or even simply toasted with toaster. secondly, make sure you always soak the bread slices in warm sugar syrup and in rabdi so that the bread slices absorb it evenly. lastly, serve it immediately after soaking it or otherwise the bread slices may turn soggy. serve it with some finely chopped dry fruits.
