This is an Indian dessert of fried bread soaked in a thick milk and milk solid mixture and garnished with nuts and dried fruit.
Ingredients:
4 slices of bread
500ml whole milk
50g
khoya, grated
100g sugar
90g mixed nuts (cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, raisin)
ghee for deep frying
generous pinch of ground cardamom
generous pinch of saffron, crumbled
Method:
Trim the crusts from the bread then slice the remainder into quarters.
Heat ghee to a depth of 2cm in a pan, add the bread pieces and fry until golden brown all over. Remove the slices with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper.
In a separate small pan, add the milk and bring to a boil. Stir in the cardamom and saffron, reduce to a simmer then stir in the sugar and the grated khoya (milk solids). Continue simmering, stirring frequently, until the mixture reduces to half its original volume and thickens.
Arrange the fried bread slices in a deep dish. Pour over the sweetened and thickened milk, adding it slowly so that the fried bread is completely covered and soaked. Set the mixture aside until the bread has absorbed all the milk (if the mixture still looks a little liquid even after 20 minutes place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for 6 minutes).
Scatter over the fruit and nuts and serve.
