Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 6 white bread slices
- 2 cups ghee for frying
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 cup Thandai rabdi
- 2 tablespoons almond and pistachio slivers for garnishing
- 1 teaspoon dried rose petals optional, for garnishing
Instructions
Deep Fry The Bread
- Cut off the dark, hard corners of the bread slices, then cut the slices in half diagonally.
- Heat the ghee in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the ghee is hot, fry 3-4 pieces of bread at a time until they are crispy and brown in color. Keep flipping the pieces using a tong while frying.
- Drain on a plate and set aside.
- Note – Do not over-fry the bread, otherwise it will taste burned.
Make The Sugar Syrup
- Add sugar, water, and ground cardamom to a saucepan.
- Heat on medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Keep stirring frequently.
- Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
Assembly
- Dip the fried bread slices into the hot syrup and let them soak 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.
