Instructions
Deep Fry The Bread
- Cut the dark and hard corners of the bread slices and cut the slices into half diagonally.

Assembly
- Dip the fried bread slices in the hot syrup and let them soak the syrup for 4-5 seconds.
- Take them out on the serving plate using a tong.
- Top with Thandai rabdi, garnish with almond and pistachio slivers and dried rose petals, and serve immediately.
- Note – If you like the bread soft, then let it soak in the syrup for 30-40 seconds.
