Shahi Tukri (Sweet Fried Bread) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 quart cooking oil
    5 slices white bread, quartered
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
    2 tablespoons cream
    2 tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts
Preparation
    Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Fry bread pieces in batches till deep golden brown. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
    Stir the water and sugar together in a small pan; bring to a boil. Stir the cardamom into the water, reduce the heat to low, and simmer another 2 to 3 minutes. Dip the fried bread pieces in the liquid for 2 to 3 minutes. Arrange the bread in a single layer in a flat-bottomed serving dish.
    Drizzle the cream over the bread pieces, and top with the pistachio nuts. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
