I am a staff writer and have visited countless grocery stores numerous times; whatever I need, I know exactly where to get it from! I am a superhero - I identify value for money in any grocery list.

I am a pure desi by heart and, one thing I have always been drawn towards is the diverse culture of my country and how it deeply impacts the food. And well, who can be an authentic desi without the eternal love for sweet, delicious traditional desserts?

Every region has something unique to offer for dessert. The blend of this amalgamation produces some of the best-ever methaa recipes!

One of them, my ever favorite is Shahi Tukre. This luxurious dessert is a perfect example of rich and flavorful cuisine.

Shahi Tukre or the “royal pieces” is a dessert fit for a king or queen. The royalty and richness of this dessert lies in the crispy and golden brown bread dipped in creamy milk syrup infused with cardamom, saffron, and other spices. The dish is finished with a garnish of chopped nuts and sometimes even silver leaf, making it a visual feast.

I remember eagerly waiting for special occasions such as Eid or Ramzan as a child. However, as I grew older and started cooking on my own, I realized that making Shahi Tukre at home is surprisingly easy and requires only a few ingredients.

Especially with now available dessert mixes of Shahi Tukre, I can make delicious Shahi Tukre under 30 minutes, yay!

In this review, I will share my personal experience of making Shahi Tukre using Shahi Tukra Mixes to help you find the best dessert mix available at different brands.
