What is it about Shahi Tukray that we love so much, like Biryani this baadshahi dessert can also be traced to the Mughlai kitchens*. However it somewhat remains a mystery as to how this twist on bread pudding came to the subcontinent?

Did Babur bring it with them in the 16th century when travelling to India, as most believe, or the British East India Company ate it in the form of bread pudding which later evolved into Shahi Tukray, a delectable Mughlai meetha seeped in the royal aromas of cardamom and saffron, sweetness of sugar and nuts and the smooth texture of milk and cream, a dessert definitely created for kings by kings.
