Prepare Shahi Toast (Shahi Tukda)

Take ghee in a frying pan and heat on medium flame.
When the ghee is medium hot (not too hot), add the bread pieces to it and fry until golden brown.
When bread slices are golden brown, take them out and put on a kitchen paper to remove the excess ghee from them.
Now take water in a vessel and boil it with sugar for five minutes.
After 5 minutes of boiling, add saffron to it and continue boiling for few more minutes until sugar syrup is prepared. Make sure sugar syrup is neither too thin nor not too thick. It should be of medium consistency so that bread slices could soak it.
Take the bread slices and dip into this prepared sugar syrup for 30 seconds.
Take them out and arrange on a serving plate.
Pour the prepared rabadi over bread slices to cover whole slices and garnish with crushed nuts, cardamoms and raisins. Keep in refrigerator until chilled. Serve chilled.
