Simplest shahi tukda recipe or Double Ka Meetha

This Hyderabadi sweet dish is normally made by deep frying white bread in ghee and then soaking it is rich cream milk and seasoning it with dry fruits. Looks like just thinking about the recipe can increase the waist line to 2 inches or more. So here is an easy to make and light on the calorie scale recipe for the dish.

You will need:
Rusk - 4 Nos(Any type will do. I used sooji rush)
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Water - 1/4 cup
Cardamom Powder - a pinch
Saffron - few strands (optional)
Milk - 1 cup
Dry fruits- 1 spoon (I mainly used almonds, but you may want to add a mixture or cashew nuts, almond and pista)

Method:
Mix sugar and water and let it boil for 5 min till it thickens up a bit.
Soak the rusk in the sugar water till it becomes soft and arrange it on a serving plate.
In the meanwhile, mix saffron and cardamon powder to the milk and boil on low flame for 5 min.
Pour this milk mixture over the rusk and garnish with dry fruits.
