Ingredients
10 slices bread, crusts removed and bread cut into triangles diagonally
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ cups water
½ teaspoon ground cardamom (Optional)
2 cups whole milk
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped almonds
¼ cup chopped cashews
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Place bread triangles onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until lightly browned and dry, about 5 minutes per side.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry bread triangles, working in batches, until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove bread with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Whisk sugar, water, and cardamom together in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until syrup has reduced slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Dip bread triangles into syrup until fully soaked and transfer to a plate.
Simmer milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Transfer soaked bread triangles to the simmering milk; cook over low heat until the milk is absorbed into the bread and the fat separates, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in raisins. Garnish with almonds and cashews.
Editor’s Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
Cook’s Note:
You can also leave bread slices on a tray to dry for 12 hours instead of toasting in the oven.
