Βήμα προς βήμα

1. 1

   First, prepare the rabri (thickened milk). In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the milk to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer.

   Περίπου 5 λ.

2. 2

   Continue simmering, stirring occasionally and scraping down the sides of the pan, until the milk has reduced by about half and thickened. This will take approximately 20-25 minutes.

   Περίπου 25 λ.

3. 3

   Stir in the rabri sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

   Περίπου 3 λ.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: The rabri will thicken further as it cools.

4. 4

   While the rabri cools, prepare the sugar syrup. In a separate saucepan, combine the syrup sugar, water, cardamom pods, and saffron. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened but still pourable.

   Περίπου 7 λ.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: You are looking for a sticky, thin syrup, not a thick one. A 1-string consistency is ideal.

5. 5

   Remove the cardamom pods from the syrup and set the syrup aside.

   Περίπου 1 λ.

6. 6

   Cut each slice of bread into two triangles. Heat the ghee in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.

   Περίπου 2 λ.

7. 7

   Fry the bread triangles in batches until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess ghee.

   Περίπου 10 λ.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: Ensure the ghee is hot enough for quick frying to prevent the bread from becoming greasy.

8. 8

   While the fried bread is still warm, dip each piece quickly into the prepared sugar syrup, ensuring both sides are coated. Do not soak for too long, or the bread will become soggy.

   Περίπου 5 λ.

9. 9

   Arrange a layer of the syrup-soaked bread in a serving dish. Pour half of the cooled rabri evenly over the bread layer.

   Περίπου 3 λ.

10. 10

    Repeat with another layer of bread and the remaining rabri. Garnish with slivered almonds and chopped pistachios.

    Περίπου 2 λ.

11. 11

    Allow the Double ka Meetha to rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
