Ingredients




1 litre full fat milk
4 tablespoons sugar or to taste
a pinch of saffron
2 cardamom pod seeds crushed
Almond and pistachios flakes to garnish
6 slices of good quality white bread

Preparation

1 In a tablespoon of milk add the saffron In a non stick deep pan boil rest of the milk. When it comes to a boil lower the heat on medium and let it simmer till it is reduced to about 3/4th of the original volume, stirring at small intervals. It will take about 10-15 minutes. 2 Now stir in the sugar and stir. Add the saffron and cardamom and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. 3 When the milk the desired consistency turn off the heat and let it cool down to room temperature. Refrigerate it till needed. 4 Using a cookie cutter, cut out rounds off the bread slices. One large slice will give 2 pieces of bread. Place them in the serving bowl and pour cold prepared milk mixture over it. Garnish it with almond and pistachios flakes. 5 Let it sit for 5 minutes, so that the bread pieces soak in all the flavors from the milk mixture. Serve chilled. 6 Notes: 7 Check the sweetness of the milk mixture before adding all the sugar and adjust according to your taste. 8 For a thicker consistency, cook it for a little longer. 9 It is always better to prepare this dish while preparing daily meal. Only making this might seem tedious and time taking. I always put it on one of the burners and by the the time  I am done with rest of the cooking, it is ready.
