Cut the bread slices diagonally into triangles.
Heat the ghee in a pan and deep fry the bread slices until crisp and golden brown.
Heat water in a pan and add ¼ cup of jaggery and let it come to a boil.
Add the cardamom to the boiling liquid and let it boilfor 5 minutes.
Once the jaggery completely dissolves, remove the pan from heat and keep aside.
Heat the milk next. When it comes to a boil, add the saffron and rose water. Let the milk simmer and reduce to half the original quantity.
Add the remaining ¼ cup jaggery to the milk and let it melt. Once the milk has thickened enough, turn the flame off.
For assembling the shahi tukda, dip the bread slices into the jaggery syrup for 5-10 seconds and put them on a plate.
Top the slices with the prepared reduced milk.
Garnish with almond slivers and dried rose petals.
