Indian Bread Pudding (Double Ka Meeta) Recipe

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Place bread triangles onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until lightly browned and dry about 5 minutes per side.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry bread triangles working in batches until golden brown 2 to 4 minutes. Remove bread with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Whisk sugar water and cardamom together in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until syrup has reduced slightly 10 to 15 minutes. Dip bread triangles into syrup until fully soaked and transfer to a plate.

Simmer milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Transfer soaked bread triangles to the simmering milk; cook over low heat until the milk is absorbed into the bread and the fat separates 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in raisins. Garnish with almonds and cashews.
