Recipe: Sweet savoury delights
Ingredients
1/2 liter milk (already boiled)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tea spoon cardamom powder (illachi)
1/2 tea spoon food colour
1/2 pack bread (cut the corners of bread and divide it in half
1/2 cup or as required ghee
Fresh cream as required
Method
Heat the boiled milk while constantly stirring it. Add sugar, cardamom powder and food colour into it. Stir the contents upto 8 to 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Now remove the container from heat.
Pour some ghee in the frying pan and fry the bread slices till they become light golden. Spread the bread slices in a tray which you can put on the stove and pour the milk mixture evenly over it. Place the tray on the stove and cook on low flame so that the bread absorbs all the milk and the bread pieces become soft. Remove from heat and let cool. Carefully transfer the prepared tukras on a serving tray and decorate with cream and chill.
