For the creamy sauce, i take like half litre of milk and add 4 qulfis in it lol. Then i cook it and there i have a delectable sauce ready. u have a lot of options in here. U can use qalaqand or barfi as well. This makes it no-fail.
Then i deep fry slices cut in squares. just golden brown, cuz if u bur n make them dark brown u will be ruining the whole thing. Then i put them in the sauce, garnish them with silver foils and finely chopped almonds and pistachos.

At times i bake the nuts with butter and sugar in the oven for like 2-3 minutes. That adds another dimension to the taste

Thanks so much pyaare and jalpari!!

jalpari: tht's so creative adding qulfi's to the milk....i was actually looking for a recipe that has more than just milk and sugar for the sauce...qalaqand would be good! ill give it a shot!

I make shahi tukray in a different way, here's a jhatpat thing..
btw I might b doing it wrong, but the outcome is always good, n my family loves it,which is the main thing!

fry the bread slices, then giv them a dip in the sheera... take them out in a dish and as cooled layer with cream....... serve chilled. obviously the garnishin with pista, baddam etc as you like...

i made my shahi tukray...but in a diff way! for the sauce i used 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of nestle cream and around 6 cups of milk. i didn't use any sugar; the sweetness in the condensed milk was sufficient...they turned out really nice...creamy rich and not extra sweet!!

i still have to try the sauce with the qulfi's in it

shona09

Thts good! did u fry the slices and then cream on top..... straight away...

nabz

is this cream stuff like whipped cream? or is it heavy cream? what is it called in the US?

i'm soooo craving them now...and want to go home and make them

bride2be

its like fresh cream. not as rich as heavy cream, but def not whipped cream

Ok here's what i did....i cut 10 slices of bread diagonally, didn't remove the edges (optional). In a frying pan i took 1-1.5 tablespoons of ghee and fried 2-3 pieces of bread at a time till golden brown...dint want to deep fry them to avoid the extra ghee... u could if u like!i also fried some of the pieces in oil and they tasted almost the same as the ones fried in ghee. i plan on frying all of them in oil next time.

in a sauce pan, add 6 cups of milk and let it boil for a few minutes with 6-8 freshly crushed cardamoms.. reduce the heat and add a pinch of saffron. Add the condensed milk little at a time and whisk to combine with the milk. add 1 can of nestle cream...this gives the sauce richness, texture and flavour. whisk to combine well. check for sweetness. u can reserve a quarter of the condensed milk in the earlier step and add after the cream to be sure of sweetness. i didnt use any sugar at all and they were sweet enough to our liking.
let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes on low heat. add yellow food coloring if u like

in another frying pan, i took 2-pieces of fried bread and added 1.5-2 (serving spoons/dishing spoons) of the cream sauce and waited for the bread to soak in on both sides. i let the sauce cook in the other pan on very low heat all the time. i did 2 pieces of bread at a time as i was experimenting....i think a better way of achieving this would be to line the bread pieces in a big pan and adding almost half of the sauce prepared for the breads to soak up. the idea is to make the breads soft to be able to absorb the sauce. this is also the step where ppl have different versions of shahi tukray....some let them cook in the entire sauce (mom does that). once all the bread pieces are soft, line them in a serving dish and pour the remaining sauce over it. chill over night. the sauce thickens over night. i basted the bread 2-3 times during the day. Garnished with pistachos and served after dinner. In-laws and dad loved it !
