Ingredients

Saffron milk:

  • 5 saffron threads
  • 3 tablespoons warm milk

Rabri:

  • 2 bread slices
  • 2 cups milk
  • 300 g ¾ can condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom cardamom powder

Sugar syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom cardamom powder
  • Few saffron threads

Fried bread:

  • 4 bread slices
  • 2 tablespoons ghee

Decorate:

  • Almond slivers
  • Chopped pistachios
  • Rose petals

Instructions

Saffron milk:

  • Combine together saffron and milk in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Rabri:

  • Remove the crusts from bread. Tear into small pieces. Place in a food processor and process into fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  • Place milk in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Add condensed milk, white sugar and breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring continuously, for 10-12 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
  • Add saffron milk. Cook, stirring continuously, for another 2 minutes. Add cardamom. Heat through. Allow to cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Sugar syrup:

  • Combine together water and sugar in a small saucepan. Place the pan over low heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Add cardamom and saffron. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the syrup gets one string consistency. Keep warm.

Fried bread:

  • Remove crusts from bread. Cut each slice into two equal rectangles, so you’ll get 8 rectangles in total. Set aside.
  • Heat ghee in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry bread slices until they are golden brown on both sides. Set aside.

Assemble:

  • Place rabri in a shallow bowl. Dip fried bread in sugar syrup and arrange them in the rabri sauce. Garnish with pistachios, almonds and rose petals.
