This is my participation post for the contest
"Food Photography" I am very happy to participate in this contest because this is my favourite topic and only one thing I think I am expert lol.Today I am sharing a dessert recipe. This is famous dessert in Pakistan and Indian origin. Many people believe Shahi Tukray is descended from Um Ali, an ancient Egyptian bread pudding. According to legend, a Sultan and a group of hunters were hunting along the Nile when they stopped in a nearby village for sustenance. The villagers enlisted the help of their local cook, Um Ali, to prepare a dinner for the hungry visitors. The chef combined stale wheat bread, nuts, milk, and sugar. As a result, the wonderful Um Ali was born. According to another account, Um Ali was a victory dessert created on demand by a succeeding king. This dish travelled with Mughal king Babar and came into subcontinent.
