Ingredients
  

  • 6 Slices Bread White Or Brown, Crusts Removed
  • 200 ml Milk Full-Fat
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Ghee Clarified Butter
  • 50 g Cashews
  • 50 g Raisins
  • 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder

Instructions

  • Tear the bread slices into small pieces and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tbsp of ghee in a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add the cashew nuts and sauté until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, fry the raisins until they puff up. Remove and set aside with the cashew nuts.
  • Add the remaining ghee to the pan. Toss in the bread pieces and sauté until golden and crisp.
  • Pour in the milk and stir continuously until the bread absorbs the milk and softens into a halwa-like texture.
  • Add sugar and mix well until it dissolves completely, and the halwa starts to thicken.
  • Sprinkle cardamom powder and combine. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Garnish with the fried cashew nuts and raisins. Serve warm.
