Instant Shahi Tukra with Rusk-Five ingredients and five minutes is all you need to make this classic Indian dessert- Shahi Tukra. The word shahi literally means ‘Royal’ and Tukra means a piece. When a humble piece of bread is deep fried and soaked in delicious rabri(Flavored and thickened milk) and topped with nuts and saffron it really does look and taste royal.

If you follow my recipes, then you know how I love quick, easy recipes. I am also very health conscious, so I wanted to make this dessert low fat and instant. I decided to use my very popular Instant Rabri with Ready Rusk/Toast -the kind we dunk in our Indian tea. Voila! it made the best Instant Shahi Tukra with Rusk without much effort. You can serve shahi tukra hot or cold. If serving immediately, make sure the toast is fully soaked in Rabri. if needed microwave it just for 30 seconds to a minute.

I cant help but think about my first trial of Shahi Tukra, when I first came to this country. I made rabri the old fashioned way by thickening it over the stove for hours and still burnt it! The white sandwich bread that I fried soaked up so much oil that I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. Needless to say, everything went into the trash can!
