- Saffron strands – a pinch
- Bread slices – 4, cut in triangles [I used brown bread]

Instructions
- Bring the milk to a boil and let it be on heat till its quantity is reduced to 3/4 of the original quantity, stirring it frequently all the way.
- Add the condensed milk and sugar to this.
- Continue stirring this milk mixture and let this be on heat for another 15 min on a low flame.
- Meanwhile toast the triangulated bread slices on a flat pan, by applying ghee to it.
- Be careful to not roast the slices, but to slightly toast it by applying ghee on both sides.
- Add saffron strands to the milk and take this off heat.
- Prepare the Shahi Tukda by assembling the toasted bread slices and pouring the prepared milk over it in a shallow pan. You will have to alternate the bread and milk if the pan is not broad enough.
- Let this dessert stay in the fridge for at least 2 hrs before serving.
