A kingly dessert in any nawabi cuisine. Roasted or fried bread served with creamy custard tastes heavenly when served after Biryani. A mouth watering dessert to calm down our sense. (It really does, trust me)

Fresh cream : 1/2 cup

Kesar : 1 pinch
Cardamom : 3 
Cinnamon stick : 1 inch
Rose water : 1 tblpsn
Pistachios and rose petals for garnish.

Method:
  • Dry out white bread under a fan for 1/2 hr. This helps to release moist from bread


  • Now place a frying pan on medium flame, add butter. Slice butter and roast them on both the sides. You can also deep fry them in vanaspati.


  • Once you fried all bread slices, remove the pan and add a deep bottom utensil.
  • Pour in milk and fresh cream. 

  • Boil milk on medium flame. When it starts boiled, add once tin condensed milk.
