Instructions
- Prepare Sugar Syrup: In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, crushed green cardamom, orange food color, lemon juice, and rose water. Mix well and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until syrup is ready.
- Prepare Bread: Trim the edges of the bread slices and cut each slice in half. Heat cooking oil in a wok over low flame and fry the bread slices until golden brown.
- Soak Bread in Syrup and Assemble: Dip the fried bread slices into the prepared sugar syrup. Arrange the soaked bread slices in a serving dish. Sprinkle desiccated coconut over the bread slices and set aside.
- Prepare Rabri: In a wok, add Olpers milk, sugar, and crushed green cardamom. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add khoya, and cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring.
- Thicken Rabri: In a small bowl, mix cornflour with 1/4 cup Olpers milk until dissolved. Add this mixture to the boiling milk mixture, stirring continuously. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rabri thickens.
- Combine and Garnish: Pour the thickened rabri over the assembled bread slices. Garnish with raisins, sliced pistachios, and sliced almonds.
- Chill and Serve: Allow the dessert to cool, then refrigerate until chilled. Before serving, garnish with edible silver leaves.
