    Whenever there is left over bread at home, its either dried and crumbled to be used later as bread crumbs or more often than not, prepare bread halwa. Its simple to make and is a rich sweet which calls for a generous amount of sugar and ghee (clarified butter). Surely we should have the luxury of indulging ourselves, once in a while, to savor such sinful temptations!! -[​IMG]

    Ingredients:3/4 cup – 1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
    1 loaf bread
    6-8 cardamoms (elachi)
    2 tbsps almonds (badam)
    2 tbsps cashewnuts
    1 lt milk (low fat)
    1 ¼ cup sugar (increase or decrease as per your taste)

    1 Tear the bread into bit sized pieces. Heat three fourth cup of ghee in a cooking vessel and add the bread pieces and fry them till they turn a golden brown.
    2 Grind elachi, almonds and cashewnuts (leave a few toasted almonds and cashewnuts aside for garnish) to a fine paste.
    3 Meanwhile boil the milk, add sugar and keep stirring it till it blends into the milk. Add the fried bread pieces and the remaining ghee to this mixture.
    4 Let it simmer till the bread pieces turn soft and cook in the milk mixture. Combine the nuts paste. Garnish with the toasted almonds and cashewnuts.
    4 Serve warm or refrigerate until chilled and serve. It tastes good both warm and cold
