Ingredients
-
1 quart oil for deep frying
-
8 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into 4 squares
-
¼ cup cashews
-
¼ cup sliced almonds
-
2 tablespoons pistachio nuts
-
1 ¼ cups whole milk
-
5 tablespoons evaporated milk
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
-
1 pinch saffron
Directions
-
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the bread slices in the hot oil until deep, golden brown; drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Fry the cashews, almonds, and pistachio nuts in the hot oil until golden brown; remove from oil and set aside to cool. Chop roughly.
-
Bring the milk to a gentle boil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat; continue boiling until the volume of milk reduces by about half. Pour the evaporated milk into the pan and add the sugar, cardamom, and saffron; simmer together 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
-
Arrange the fried bread pieces in a shallow dish large enough to allow them to be laid in a single layer. Evenly pour the milk mixture over the bread. Scatter the chopped nuts over the bread. Chill in refrigerator until completely cold, 1 to 2 hours.
