How to make Double Ka Meetha

Step 1: Trim the edges of bread slices and cut diagonally into 4 pieces. Spread out to dry for 10 minutes. Heat ghee and deep fry the bread pieces until golden brown and remove.
Step 2: Take a pan, mix Nestlé MILKMAID, cardamom powder, saffron, and kishmish and boil it. Roast the dry fruits and add them to the mixture.
Step 3: Cook it till it gets little thick. Put the bread in the mixture and let the bread get coated with the mixture.
Step 4: Serve hot or cold.

NOTE: It is better to use one-day-old bread than fresh bread as it will absorb less ghee while frying.

Tips to Make Double Ka Meetha

Make sure to use a heavy pan with a thick bottom, or the milk will burn from the bottom.
For the bread, use ghee to fry it in. Frying in oil is not ideal for obtaining a true Mughlai flavour.
The bread should not be overcooked. They fry quickly, so proceed with caution. Simply place it in the ghee, flip it over, and remove it.
To make double ka meetha, white bread is usually used. However, any type of bread, such as whole wheat bread or brown bread, can be used.

FAQs on Double Ka Meetha

1. How long will the double ka meetha last?

When stored in an airtight container, it will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Serve chilled or warm for a few seconds in the microwave before serving.

2. Can I toast the bread instead of frying it?

Yes, instead of deep-frying the bread, you can toast it. Brush the slices with ghee and toast until crispy and golden. The dessert will not have the same flavour as a deep-fried version, but it will be wonderful anyway.
