Anjeer ka shahi tukra or fried bread in spiced milk

1. Using a round cutter, cut out circles from the bread. Heat the ghee in a pan and fry them until golden brown.

2. Heat the milk with the sugar and ground cardamom powder.

3. Soak the fried bread in the milk for 30 seconds, then arrange on a serving plate.

4. Spoon the rabdi on to the soaked bread, top with a fig slice and sprinkle some caster sugar. If desired, caramelise with a blow torch.

5. Garnish with whipped cream, mint sprigs and chocolate tuile.

Tip: Rabdi or reduced milk can be purchased at Indian sweetmeat shops. However, if you are planning to make it at home, try using a heavy pan to boil the milk -- don't use a pan with a thin base as the milk could stick to the bottom and spoil the taste of the rabdi.
