Golden bread. Fragrant milk. A slower spoonful.

Shahi tukda pairs fried bread with fragrant sweet milk. This warm SRSLY interpretation keeps that inviting combination while using butter-toasted small bread triangles, saffron, cardamom and almonds. The reduced milk is poured over just before resting and serving.

LET’S MAKE IT

Golden Cardamom Toast with Saffron Milk & Almonds

Nutrition & tips

Method

1

Infuse the milk

Put the milk, sugar, cardamom and saffron in a heavy-based 18–20cm saucepan. Bring just to a simmer. Lower the heat and simmer gently, stirring and scraping the base often, for 20–25 minutes until reduced to about 240ml. Do not let it boil over or scorch; pour into a measuring jug to check the volume.

2

Toast the almonds

While the milk reduces, toast the chopped almonds in a dry 24cm non-stick frying pan for 2–3 minutes, shaking often, until lightly golden. Tip onto a plate.

3

Butter-toast the bread

Cut each small bread slice diagonally into two triangles. Melt 1 tsp butter (5g) in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add four triangles and cook gently for 2–3 minutes each side until golden. Repeat with the remaining 1 tsp butter and four triangles. Keep all the crusts; the full bread and butter amounts are counted.

4

Plate and spoon

Arrange four triangles on each of two shallow plates. Divide all the reduced saffron milk equally over and around the bread, then scatter half the almonds over each serving. Rest for 10 minutes so the edges soften slightly while some golden corners stay visible. Serve warm. The full milk, sugar, nuts and butter are included.

Nutrition & tips

Estimated per serving: four small bread triangles, half the reduced saffron milk and 5g almonds; a dessert serving.

Estimated per complete serving: 274 kcal; protein 17.0g; net carbs 18.2g; sugar 17.1g; fibre 6.6g; fat 13.6g; saturates 5.3g.

UK carbohydrate already excludes fibre, so fibre has not been subtracted again. Net carbs use the featured SRSLY product’s published net-carb figure, accounting for its listed polyols once. These are estimates; brands, drained weights and portions change the numbers.

This is a warm, pan-toasted SRSLY dessert inspired by shahi tukda, the Mughal bread-and-fragrant-milk dessert. It uses different bread and a smaller amount of butter rather than traditional deep-frying.

Reducing milk removes water, not its calories or natural sugars. The estimate counts the full 400ml milk for the two-serving batch.

One dessert is four small triangles, half the milk and 5g almonds. This is a dessert serving, not a complete main meal or a diabetes treatment claim.

Allergens: Wheat/gluten, oats, egg, milk and almonds. Check bread and nut packs.
