Ingredients

🍞 4-8 slices milk bread

🌰 A handful of almonds, finely chopped

🥜 A handful of cashews, finely chopped

💚 A handful of pistachios, finely chopped

🥛 Approx. 750ml - 1 liter full-fat milk

🍬 ½ - ¾ cup sugar

🌼 A small pinch saffron strands

🌿 5-6 green cardamom pods, crushed into powder

🍮 1-2 tablespoons vanilla flavored custard powder

💧 A few tablespoons of water

Instructions

1- Prepare Bread Patties:

Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut circular shapes from each slice of milk bread.

2- Chop Nuts:

Finely chop the almonds, cashews, and pistachios. Set aside.

3- Assemble Bread "Sandwiches":

Take one bread circle, sprinkle a small amount of the mixed nuts on it, and then place another bread circle on top, pressing gently to form a mini sandwich. Repeat for the remaining bread slices.

4- Prepare Milk Base (Rabri):

In a large pot, pour the milk and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer once it boils.

5- Sweetener & Nuts:

Add sugar to the simmering milk, stirring until dissolved. Incorporate a portion of the chopped nuts, saving the rest for garnish.

6- Flavor Infusion:

Stir in saffron strands for rich color and aroma. Crush the cardamom pods and add the ground powder to the milk mixture.

7- Thicken Milk with Custard:

In a bowl, mix the custard powder with water to form a lump-free slurry. Gradually add this to the simmering milk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

8- Achieve Desired Consistency:

Let the milk mixture simmer until it thickens to a creamy rabri-like consistency, which should coat the back of a spoon.

9- Assemble Rasmalai:

Arrange the prepared bread sandwiches in a serving bowl or individual bowls.

10- Pour & Garnish:

Generously ladle the thickened milk (rabri) over the bread sandwiches, ensuring they are completely covered. Garnish with the remaining chopped nuts and a few saffron strands.
