ABOUT MANGO MALAI SHAHI TUKDA RECIPE

Mango is my favourite fruit and I can never stop trying out more and more recipes each season. Here is a variation of the traditional Hyderabadi dessert, Shahi Tukda. I had some home made malai, which combined with mango pulp made an excellent topping.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Bread slices ..... 4
Mango pulp .... 1 cup
Malai / home made cream .. 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder ....... 1/8th tsp
Sugar ................. 2 tbsps
Ghee / clarified butter .... 2 tbsps
Crushed pistachios ......... 1 tbsp
Red currants or cherries ... for garnishing
Silver varq .................... for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

Cut the bread slices into roundels using a cookie cutter.
Heat a flat bottomed pan and melt the ghee.
Shallow fry the bread roundels on low flame until crisp and golden brown.
In a pan cook the mango puree and malai together until well blended. It takes about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sugar and cardamom powder. Allow it to cool.
Place the fried breads in a serving platter and spoon the mango malai mixture on them.
