So decided to come up with something else yesterday. I made this for breakfast - so kept it a little lighter on the sugar - but you can up the sugar content to make it more dessert-y. I will say that it was a very comforting breakfast on a winter sunday morning.
Ingredients:
3-4 bread slices (remove the edges and tear into bite sized pieces)
2 tsps butter (i used the butter substitute thing)
1.5 cups milk
pinch of cardamom
2 tsps cashew nuts/almonds
3 tbsps sugar (honestly i'm not sure of the exact amount of sugar i used - just added and tasted)
Put the milk to boil in a pot with the cardamom. At the same time, melt the butter in a separate pan and fry the pieces of bread in it till they turn golden. In the same pan fry the nuts/dried fruit (whatever you wish to add)
Once the milk has started to boil, turn the heat down and add the fried bread pieces. Stir till the milk starts to get absorbed. Add in the sugar and keep stirring till the sugar melts in. Keep it on the stove on low heat for a while, till you get the consistency you like - could be more milky (which is how we had it) or wait for it to get more 'halwa like'
That's it...very easy. And we finished the whole lot in one sitting. Would definitely make it again!
