Shahi Tukda - Royal dessert flavoured with Seasonal Mangoes.

The word “Shahi” means royal and “Tukda” means a piece. Hence the word describes a royal piece of classic dessert was enjoyed by royal authorities of royal kingdom.

This royal dessert is prepared by deep frying white bread slices into the ghee, soaked into the flavored sugar syrup .These  delectable pieces are topped with delicious  rabdi (thickened milk) and nuts.

To bring in a twist to the dish, I flavored rabdi or thickened milk with freshly made mango puree. Though, traditionally plain rabdi is been used. Just to game the season, I came up this idea and it was a big hit.

This delicious dessert is a perfect dessert to be made on day of Eid .Hence sharing this post, so that you all can enjoy its royal taste and enjoy with your family.

AamRas

The word “Aamras” itself explains the whole recipe. The word “Aam” means mango and “ras” means juice. Basically aamras is mango juice, which can also be called as mango nectar. Aamras is famous Maharashtrian dish prepared with mango puree, sugar and cardamom. In summer, aamras is enjoyed in every home as wide variety of mangoes is available in market. It can be served with hot pooris or can be served as side dish with your meals.

Generally aamras or mango nectar is prepared using Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango or Ratnagiri Hapus Aam (one variety of mango which is famous in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra). If these mangoes are hard to find, you can simply use any sweet mangoes like kolar alphonso, sindura, or dasheri.

Aamras can be stored in an air tight container for one year. Whenever you want to use it, remove it from the freezer an hour before and use it as required. It has awesome flavor and can be used in many forms of recipe.
