Yummy mouth watering Hyderabad dessert

Double Ka Meetha, or Shahi Tukdais a Hyderabad dessert of fried bread slices soaked in hot milk with spices and garnished with Khowa (dried semi solid milk). Shahi Tukda has its roots in Pakistani cuisine and is a very famous dessert in the Mughlai cuisine. It is particularly prepared during the festive month of Ramadan and on Eid. The recipe uses bread, condensed milk, and dry fruits. I got this recipe from a TV show. Prepared and came out well. You can serve this as a dessert to wind up a party.
