Shahi Tukda is a royal treat to your taste buds at anytime!! This is a Indian spiced bread pudding which is often served with rich and creamy rabdi or condensed milk.

This quick and easy to prepare dessert has nice flavor of saffron and cardamon. You can service it either warm or chilled, both ways it will taste delicious.
