Suji Kheer Shahi Tukda                 Serves 4 to 5

FOR THE SUGAR SYRUP

Water – 1 cup

Sugar(powdered) – ¼ cup

Green Cardamom(crushed) – 3

FOR THE SHAHI TUKDA

Bread slices – 2 per serving

Ghee – for shallow frying

FOR THE SUJI KHEER

Suji/Semolina – 1/3 cup

Milk – 500 to 600 ml

Condensed milk – ¼ cup

Sugar – ¼ cup

Ghee – 1 ½ tblsp

Essence of Kewra – a few drops

FOR GARNISH

Mixed chopped nuts – 2 to 3 tblsp

Saffron soaked in hot milk

Method:

1.    FOR THE SUGAR SYRUP: Bring the water to a boil and add in the sugar. Dissolve completely. Add in the cardamoms and simmer on medium heat till reduced to half. Cool completely.

2.    FOR THE SHAHI TUKDA: Cut the bread slices in ½ or ¼ or use a cookie cutter to cut it into a shape. Heat some ghee in a pan and shallow fry the pieces till golden brown and crispy. Drain on absorbent paper and let cool.

3.    FOR THE SUJI KHEER: fry the suji in the ghee till it becomes light golden in colour. Add in the milk and cook stirring on low heat till the mixture starts to thicken. Add in the condensed milk and sugar. Dissolve completely. You may add in a pinch of salt. Mix well and turn off the heat. Let it cool down completely. Once cold add in a few drops of Kewra essence and mix it in.

4.    To assemble the dessert, add a layer of kheer at the base of the serving dish.

5.    Place a fried bread piece on it and drizzle it with the sugar syrup. Pour some kheer over it and sprinkle some chopped nuts. Place another slice of bread and continue to build it in the same way. (You could use 2 or 3 slices for one serving). End with kheer on top.

6.    Sprinkle the chopped nuts all over, drizzle the saffron milk all over. Garnish with the strands of saffron. Leave aside to rest for 15 to 20 mins and serve.
