Pan frying bread
  1. Bread slices can be either pan fried or deep fried in ghee or oil. I prefer to pan fry.
  2. Cut each bread slice diagonally, we will have 12 slices in total.
  3. Place a pan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp ghee.
  4. Place the bread slices, do not crowd the slices- pan fry in 2 batches.
  5. Let the bottom side turn crispy and golden brown, flip it over and let other side turn crispy.
  6. Transfer to a plate, keep aside.
Making sugar syrup
  1. Soak 2 pinches saffron in 1 tbsp water for 5 minutes.
  2. Place a saucepan over medium heat, add water and sugar, let sugar dissolve.
  3. Add crushed whole cardamoms.
  4. Add 1 tsp Lemon juice to prevent sugar from forming crystals.
  5. Add soaked saffron, combine well.
  6. Let sugar syrup come to a boil.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat and keep aside to cool down.
Cooking milk
  1. In another saucepan, add milk and condensed milk.
  2. Add a pinch of saffron as well to the milk.
  3. Cook over medium low heat, let milk come to a slight boil, after that lower the heat and let simmer.
  4. Let milk thicken and reduce to half its amount.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat.
  6. Place a pan over medium heat, add 1 tsp ghee. Add any kind of nuts and dried fruits like dates. Roast till golden in color, keep aside the roasted nuts.
Assembling the double ka meetha
  1. Use a wide deep bowl to assemble this dessert.

  4. Arrange on the bowl.
  5. Top with roasted nuts.
  6. Pour the sweetened and thickened milk evenly over the bread slices.
  7. This can be served right away. However, it tastes much delicious when chilled.
