Recipe
1
Boil the full-fat milk in a wide pan on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to half its volume to form a rich rabri.
2
Stir in the condensed milk and a pinch of cardamom powder into the rabri, then set it aside warm.
3
In a separate pan, combine sugar and water to make a single-string sugar syrup, infusing it with saffron strands.
4
Heat ghee in a skillet and shallow fry the bread triangles until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
5
Dip the fried bread slices into the warm sugar syrup for just a few seconds so they absorb the sweetness without getting soggy.
6
Arrange the soaked bread slices on a serving platter, pour the warm prepared rabri generously over them, and garnish with sliced almonds and pistachios.
