Shahi tukda with rusks

Shahi tukda is a very well known Indian dessert,traditionally  made by frying bread slices and adding condensed milk and nuts to it. But,here I have made some change in the basic ingredient,in order to give it a healthier aspect. Because, whoever has made it,knows,frying bread slices consume too much of oil /ghee ,which is not at all good for our health as well as pockets.
So...here it goes..no fry shahi tukda.....

Ingredients :

Slightly sweet rusk biscuits : 10/12
Sugar : 6 tablespoons (or,to taste)
Full cream milk : 1 litre
Milk powder: 2 tablespoons
Chopped/sliced almonds : 2 tablespoons
Kishmish (raisins) : 1 tablespoon
Cherries : 6/7 (I used tinned ones)

Method :

• Bring the milk to a boil in a deep saucepan. 
• Reduce flame slightly when it starts to boil.Stir occasionally.Reduce the milk to half its quantity.
• Add sugar,mix well and boil for another 5/6 minutes.
• Let the thickened milk cool down a little.Then add the milk powder to it and mix well.
• Arrange the rusks in a serving dish.
• Pour the thickened milk (kheer) over it.
• Sprinkle chopped walnuts and raisins.
• Cut the cherries in to half and decorate them.keep it in the refrigerator for some time to cool completely,before serving.It should be served immediately after taking out from the fridge.
• Your guilt free shahi tukda is ready to devour. 
• Diabetics or those who have  problems with sugar can use unsweetened rusks and sweeteners in place of sugar.
