Cooking instructions

* Step 1

First of all cut the bread loaf into triangles or small cubes. Or just cut each slice into two from the centre. You can do it any way you prefer.

* Step 2

Dry them until crisp under the fan for a day or two. Deep fry these dried pieces in oil or ghee and drain on an absorbent paper.

* Step 3

Meanwhile make a single string consistency sugar syrup and pour on the bread arranged in a dish. Add crushed cardamom to the syrup. Don't forget that. You can even add a few strands of Saffron.

* Step 4

Bring Milk with Sugar to a rolling boil on a high heat at first and then allow it to simmer on a low flame for a few minutes. Add crushed mawa to it and mix well after it is boiled nicely and the raw smell vanishes.

* Step 5

Shallow fry all the nuts in ghee and keep aside. Melon Seeds can also be used if desired. It gives a lovely flavour and crunch. Pour the creamy and thickened Milk over the Bread. Let the bread soak in this milk for an hour. Sprinkle nuts on top. Serve it immediately either warm or cold. It's best enjoyed warm.
