Double Ka Meetha Recipe
Double Ka Meetha is a Hyderabadi dessert made with fried bread slices soaked in cardamom-flavored sugar syrup and rabri. This flavourful dessert is mainly made during festive events, especially during Ramadan and weddings. If you're searching for easy Indian bread pudding, traditional Eid dessert, or a milk-based Indian sweet, this dish perfectly fits in all these categories. It's tastes best after soaking for some time, where the bread absorbs all the delicious flavors.
Ingredients
For Frying Bread
- 6 slices White Bread
- 3 tablespoon Ghee
For Rabri
- ½ litre Milk
- ½ cup Sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon Saffron
- ½ teaspoon Cardamom Powder
For Sugar Syrup
- ½ cup Sugar
- ¾ cup Water
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon Saffron
For Garnishing
- 2 tablespoon Ghee
- 3 tablespoon Cashews
- 3 tablespoon Raisins
Instructions
- Fry the cashews and raisins in little ghee until golden. Set them aside. Cut the bread pieces into triangles or squares. Trim the edges of the bread slices. Soak a pinch of saffron strands in a 2 tablespoon of warm milk for enhanced flavor and color.
- Melt 3 tablespoon ghee in a pan and toast the bread pieces both sides until golden and crispy.
- Boil milk in a wide pan and simmer until reduced to half, stirring occasionally. Add ½ cup sugar and saffron milk, mix well. Cook until reduced and thickened well. It will take around 5 mins.
- Boil sugar with ¾ cup water in another pan for a few minutes until sugar becomes slightly sticky. Add cardamom powder and saffron. Mix well.
- Dip toasted bread slices in warm sugar syrup one by one and arrange them in a serving dish.
- Pour the rabri generously over the syrup-soaked bread. Top with the fried cashews and raisins.
- Let it soak for at least 30 minutes so the flavors blend well. You can serve it just like this.
- You can even bake this for more better texture. Pop the tray into a 180 degree C preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
