INSTRUCTION FOR PREPARING DOUBLE KA MEETHA/BREAD DESSERT –

1. Firstly, cut the sides of bread and cut the slices into a triangle & arrange the slices onto a flat plate by covering it with a thin cloth for an hour to make it a bit hard.

2. Meanwhile, start preparing the sugar syrup. Heat a cooking dish, add 2 cups of water and 1/4th tsp cardamom powder, bring it to boil.

3. Then add 1 cup of sugar, mix it well till the sugar gets dissolved. Once it is boiled turn off the stove and keep it aside, note do not overcook the syrup keep it thin texture.

4. Next step, is to prep khoya/mawa/khoa mixture. Take a small mixing bowl, add milk, homemade cream (malai) and khoya/mawa. Whisk the paste until it forms a smooth texture and keeps it aside too.

5. Heat oil in a kadia, slightly fry the bread slices till it turns to golden light color.

6. In a large lagan pan (or) any flat surface pan, arrange the fried slices of the bread. Now pour the sugar syrup and spread it evenly so that each and every slice absorbs the syrup. Place the lagan pan on a stove at a low flame.

7. Furthermore, add the khoya/mawa/khoa mixture on the top of bread slices, also include 1 tsp of desi ghee and pineapple essence 1 tsp to it.

8. When it starts boiling slightly rotate the lagan pan and turn the other side of slices with the help of a flat spoon and allow it to cook till its absorbs the khoya mixture.

9. Once the bread slices absorb the khoya mixture, turn off the stove and close the lid for 10-15 minutes.

10. For the final touch, open the lid and start garnishing the dessert by adding almond (badam), cashew nut (Kaju), pistachio (Pista) flakes, raisins, dry cherries flakes, pineapple chunks and at last spread over the leftover khoya mixture on the top of the dessert (While recording the video I forgot to include the khoya mixture while garnishing, so do add it)
