This dish used to be especially made for my brother, on rakshabandhan and his birthday. On the occasion of rakshabandhan, I dedicate this recipe to my loving and caring brother.
It’s so easy to pick up a slice and slide the whole piece into your brother’s mouth. Gives me immense satisfaction Happy rakshabandhan! #rakhi

Steps

15-20 minutes (excluding making of rabdi)

1

Cut the slices into triangle. Take one pan and dissolve the sugar. In the sugar add some threads of kesar and drop of lemon juice.
2

Now heat desi ghee in a pan and deep fry the slices. You can shallow fry them also but I like traditional shahi tukda so I always deep fry them.
3

Fry it until golden brown then dip it in the sugar syrup (your syrup should not be very hot and not be very cold). Soak it for 5-7 minutes then take out in a strainer so that extra sugar will drain out.
4

Decorate it with Lachha Rabri (see recipe), kesar and rose petals.
