Shahi Tukra Indian Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Combine half-and-half, sugar, and condensed milk in a large pot over medium-low heat. Bring to a gentle boil; simmer until reduced by half, about 55 minutes.
• Dissolve 2 slices of bread in the half-and-half mixture; blend mixture with an immersion blender until thickened.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Fry remaining bread slices in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Slice bread diagonally; layer slices in a 9x12-inch baking dish. Pour in enough of the half-and-half mixture to evenly soak the slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Flip bread slices and continue baking, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• add milk in a thick-bottomed pan and boil till it reduces to half its original volume. Stir frequently to prevent from burning the milk. When it is done add the cardamom, mix well and remove from the fire.
• Cut the crusts off from the slices of bread/raisin toast and quarter the slices.
• Heat the oil on a medium flame.
• Deep fry the pieces of bread in it till they are crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
• In the same ghee, sauté the raisins till they puff up. Remove from the ghee and drain well on paper towels.
• Put a layer of bread pieces at the bottom of a flat serving dish and top with the thickened milk mixture. Keep adding layers of bread and the milk mixture alternating as you go, till all the bread and milk mixture is used up.
• Garnish the dish with the raisins and almond slivers, chill for an hour and serve.
