Originated in the royal kitchens, it tastes quite creamy and rich and melts in the mouth quickly. If you are given surprise visit by the guests then you can make it within a minute to serve. Down is the very simple recipe to make shahi tukda.

Ingredients:

  • Kesar (saffron), a little
  • One tablespoon ghee
  • One teaspoon Cardamom powder
Preparation Process:
