INGREDIENTS

  • Frying Oil

    • 1 quart oil for deep frying

  • Bread

    • 🍞 8 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into 4 squares

  • Nuts and Seeds

    • ¼ cup cashews
    • ¼ cup sliced almonds
    • 2 tablespoons pistachio nuts

  • Dairy

    • 🥛 1 ¼ cups whole milk
    • 🥛 5 tablespoons evaporated milk

  • Sugars and Spices

    • 🍚 ¾ cup white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
    • 1 pinch saffron

STEPS

1

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.

2

Fry the cashews, almonds, and pistachio nuts in the hot oil until golden brown; remove from oil and set aside to cool. Chop roughly.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Scatter the chopped nuts over the bread. Chill in refrigerator until completely cold, 1 to 2 hours.
