Ingredients

The ingredients you'll need to make this delicious desert are mentioned below: 

For the Bread:

  • 6-8 slices of white bread
  • 4 tablespoons ghee 
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashews
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons raisins

For the Milk Syrup:

  • 1 liter full-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • A pinch of saffron threads (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon rose water (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

  1. Trim the Bread: Remove the edges of the bread slices and cut them into triangles or squares.
  2. Fry the Bread: In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Fry the bread pieces until they are golden brown and crispy. 

Step 2: Prepare the Nuts

  1. Roast the Nuts: In the same pan, add the sliced almonds, chopped cashews, chopped pistachios, and raisins. Roast them until they are golden and fragrant. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Milk Syrup

  1. Boil the Milk: In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stir occasionally, until the milk reduces by about half.
  2. Add Condensed Milk and Sugar: Stir in the condensed milk and sugar. Continue to simmer until the mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Add Flavors: Add the cardamom powder, saffron threads (if using), and rose water (if using). Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Double Ka Meetha

  1. Layer the Bread and Milk: In a serving dish, arrange a layer of the fried bread pieces. Pour a portion of the milk syrup over the bread, ensuring they are well soaked. Repeat the layers until all the bread and syrup are used up.
  2. Top with Nuts: Sprinkle the roasted nuts and raisins on top.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

  1. Chill: Allow the Double Ka Meetha to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
  2. Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with additional nuts and saffron threads before serving, if you want to.



Tips for the Perfect Double Ka Meetha

  • Fry the Bread: Frying the bread in ghee gives it a rich flavor and crispy texture, which is essential for this dessert.
  • Reduce the Milk: Allow the milk to reduce by half for a thicker, creamier consistency.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste and adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  • Chill Time: Letting the dessert chill allows the bread to absorb the milk syrup fully, enhancing the flavors.
