Shahi Tukri is a popular South Asian dessert dish that is similar to French toast. The bread slices are fried until crispy and then coated in a sweet syrup of cardamom, sugar, and cream. The chopped pistachio nuts add a lovely crunch to it. The dish can be enjoyed alone or served with a scoop of ice cream for a rich and indulgent dessert experience.

Instructions

1.	Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
2.	Once the oil is hot, add the quartered bread slices into it and fry them for 2-3 minutes until they turn light golden brown.
3.	Once done, take the bread out of the oil and place it onto a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
4.	In a separate pan, add water, white sugar, and cardamom and bring it to a boil.
5.	Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens.
6.	Add cream to the syrup and mix it well. Turn off the heat.
7.	Dip the fried bread slices one by one into the syrup mixture and coat them well. Place them onto a serving dish and garnish with chopped pistachio nuts. Serve hot or cold.
