For Garnishing:

Roasted Pistachios – 8 to10 (sliced thin vertically)

Method:

1.       Boil Milk. To this add sugar & Condensed Milk (Note: If cardamom flavor is not available, ground 2 cardamoms & add this to milk. Please discard its shell/skin.) Add saffron. Now cook milk on a low flame for 15-20 minutes till it thickens a bit.

2.       Now add the ingredients for garnishing, cook for 2 minutes & leave it aside to attain room temperature.

3.       Meanwhile roast the bread slices on a pan by applying little ghee evenly on both the surfaces of the bread till it turns crispy, taking care not to brown them. Discard the sides of the bread slices. Now cut these bread slices neatly into cubes (1 cm / 1 cm) & add these to the milk after the latter has reached its room temperature. Refrigerate for 2 hrs.
