This is a well known Hyderabadi dessert. It's made by soaking fried bread and nuts with milk, sugar and cardamom. It's very simple and goes down well at dinner parties. It's best eaten chilled.

- Heat oil in a deep fat fryer or large saucepan to 180 degrees C. Fry the bread slices in the hot oil until deep golden brown; drain on a plate lined with kitchen towels. Fry the cashews, almonds and pistachio nuts in the hot oil until golden brown; remove from oil and set aside to cool. Roughly chop.
- Bring the milk to a gentle boil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat; continue boiling until the volume of milk reduces by about half. Pour the evaporated milk into the pan and add the sugar, cardamom and saffron; simmer together 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Arrange the fried bread pieces in a shallow dish large enough to allow them to be laid in a single layer. Evenly pour the milk mixture over the bread. Scatter the chopped nuts over the bread. Chill in refrigerator until completely cold, 1 to 2 hours.

Thanks for the beautiful recipe. I had one concern though. The bread soaked up a lot of oil and I did not like the oily taste that it had at the start. - 29 Oct 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
