| Shahi Toast/ Shahi Tukda |
Shahi Toast is the dish which my mummy` used to cook for my Daddy . This dish is my father's favourite dish. Although I try to pamper my daddy with this Dish , but I still miss my mother's taste of Shahi Toast .
This dish is very rich in calories, so people do not want to eat it often... even I enjoy it occasionally.
On special occasions or formal dinner it goes great.
Yesterday I invited newly wed couple at my place for a formal dinner. We are quite close and friendly, so I asked them , what they want to have for dessert , they said.. Shahi Tukda!
