Sense8: Shahi Tukda recipe
I can’t think of anything better than crisp buttery bread soaking in a sweet milk. This recipe for shahi tukda is inspired by the Netflix series, Sense8. This amazing dessert is typically served at weddings or parties but it always wonderful anytime of the year. The following recipe can be made with condensed milk for a richer flavor but I feel the milk is just as delicious. Please enjoy.
PRIYA: The truth is, for the longest time, I thought kissing is as eating a kebab, because whenever I would kiss, all I would taste was spices and garlic on his lips.
I’m sure that whatever you are laughing at would not be at the expense of a man who would slave for hours making shahi tukda.
