Method

Preparation of Bread

  1. 1

    Toasting Bread

    Begin by toasting the bread slices in a pan with a little ghee until they are golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Making the Milk Mixture

    Preparing Milk Mixture

    In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron. Heat the mixture over medium flame until the sugar dissolves completely. Stir occasionally and bring it to a simmer.

Combining Ingredients

    Layering

    In a serving dish, arrange a layer of toasted bread slices. Pour a portion of the warm milk mixture over the bread, ensuring it is well soaked. Repeat the layering with the remaining bread and milk mixture.

    Adding Dry Fruits

    Sprinkle the sliced almonds, chopped cashews, raisins, and sliced pistachios evenly over each layer of soaked bread.
