SHAHI TUKRAY , A royal dessert recipe made with fried bread coated with sugar syrup and soaked in a creamy thickened milk pudding (Rabri) and garnished with dry nuts.
This royal tasting delicacy is said to have its origins in the Mughal Empire. The Word “Shahi” means royal and “Tukra” means piece. This very rich royal piece of dessert is definitely a royal indulgence.
In Pakistan, this royal delicacy is referred to as SHAHI TUKRAY whereas across the border in India its commonly called DOUBLE KA MEETHA. Both recipes are essentially same with slight variations.
