What's your favourite Diwali recipe? Tell us!

The Shahi Tukda is an easy-to-make dessert with ordinary ingredients which magically transform into something that is rather extraordinary.

May be it's the humble bread golden fried in ghee, or the sumptuous khoya in it or the delicious creamy layer.... the few sublime drops of kewra essence or the extravagant sprinkling of dry fruits at the end!

Soaked in the creamy layers of condensed milk and served cold, this is by far the most exquisite and indulgent of all Indian desserts!
