  • Apply desi ghee on each side of the bread.

TAWA METHOD

  • Apply little ghee on non stick tawa & place the bread slices. You have to toast the bread slices untill they become brown and crispy from both the sides.

AIR FRYER METHOD

  • Place bread triangles in greased air fryer basket.
  • Air fry @180°C for 4-5 minutes. Keep aside.

MAKING OF SUGAR SYRUP

  • In a pan, take water, sugar and green cardamoms.

  • Switch off the heat when you get a thick consistency.
  • Transfer sugar syrup in a wide dish where the bread can be easily dipped.
  • Add rose water, mix and let the temperature of sugar syrup come down to warm.

  • Take the slices out, preferably in serving dish.
  • Now spread rabri on one side of the slice using a spoon.
  • Garnish with nuts.
  • Place in refrigerator because it tastes best if served chilled.
  • Enjoy.

Notes

  1. We used atta bread. But you can also use white bread or brown bread.
  2. We have cut the bread in triangular shape. You can give them rectangular or round shape or even as it is.
  3. The traditional way is not to toast the bread on tawa or air fryer, but the bread is deep fried in lots of ghee. We avoided it because this recipe already carrier lots of calories. But if it suits you, you can go for the traditional method.
  4. Sugar syrup has to be just warm at the time of dipping the bread slices. If the sugar syrup will be too hot, the bread will breakdown and if the sugar syrup will be completely cool, bread will not soak the syrup. So it has to be just warm.
  5. If the sugar syrup has turned completely cool and thick, you can add a tablespoon of water and just heat it up to the required warmth.
  6. Do not throw away the edges of the bread. you can make delicious Caramel Bread Pudding or Baked bread pudding with them.
