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. Serve warm or chilled.
