Shahi Tukda (Double ka Meetha) ~ Easy Dessert Recipe

What do you do when absent mindedly boiling half a litre milk for almost an hour? In most cases, would throw it.But not my husband.  He made Shahi Tukda out of it! It so happened that the husband was at home (while I was at work) and happened to over boil the milk, while being absent minded watching TV.  The moment he saw the reduced milk, he thought of the amazing Shahi tukda his mum used to make during childhood with the naturally reduced milk and made up his mind to treat with it (how sweet!!). 

Shahi Tukda (also called Double ka Meetha) is simply reduced milk (rabri)+sugar+bread, but it comes together so beautifully to make an awesome divine dessert. I simply loved it and for the 1^st time did not get angry on the husband for leaving milk to boil absent mindedly!!
