How to make Double Ka Meetha

Step 1:Trim the edges of bread slices and cut diagonally into 4 pieces. Spread out to dry for 10 minutes. Heat ghee and deep fry the bread pieces until golden brown and remove.
Step 2: Take a pan, mix Nestlé MILKMAID, cardamom powder, saffron, and kishmish and boil it. Roast the dry fruits and add them to the mixture.
Step 3: Cook it until it thickens slightly. Then, add the bread to the mixture and allow it to soak up the mixture, coating the bread.
Step 4: Serve hot or cold.

NOTE: For this Double Ka Meetha recipe, it's preferable to use one-day-old bread rather than fresh bread, as it absorbs less ghee during frying.

Tips to Make Double Ka Meetha

Use a heavy pan with a thick bottom, or the milk will burn from the bottom.
For frying the bread, use ghee rather than oil to achieve an authentic Hyderabadi Double Ka Meetha.
Be careful not to overcook the Double Ka Meetha bread; it fries quickly. Just place it in the ghee, flip it, and remove it.
White bread is typically used to make Double Ka Meetha, but you can also opt for other types of bread, such as whole wheat or brown bread.
Drizzle a bit of honey over your Double Ka Meetha before serving to elevate its flavour.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a luxurious finish.
