Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups Full Fat Milk
  • ¼ cup Sweet Condensed Milk
  • 4-5 Saffron strands (kesar)
  • ¼ teaspoon Cardamom (Elaichi) Powder
  • 4 White Bread Slices (or brown bread)
  • 2-3 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter), or Butter
  • 3 tablespoons shaved dark chocolate
  • ½ tablespoon chopped Cashew Nuts
  • ½ tablespoon chopped Pistachio
  • ½ tablespoon chopped Almonds
Directions
  1. Mix milk, sweet condensed milk, and saffron strands in a thick-bottomed pan and bring it to boil on medium flame.
  2. When it starts to boil, reduce flame to low and boil until mixture turns thick and reduces to around 1½ cups, for around 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally in between to prevent sticking.
  3. Turn off heat and let the mixture cool at room temperature.
  4. Remove sides of bread slices and cut each slice into 4 triangles or 4 equal squares.
  5. Brush bread squares with ghee or butter on both sides. Heat a non-stick pan and shallow fry them until bottom surface turns crispy and golden brown on low flame.
  6. Flip them and shallow fry until another side turns crispy and golden brown. Transfer them to plate.
  7. Arrange crisp fried bread pieces in layer on serving plate. Pour prepared mixture over it.
  8. Garnish with pistachios, cashew nuts and almonds. Place it in refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with some freshly shaved dark chocolate and serve.
