When the syrup becomes slightly sticky (less than one string), turn off the gas. Now dip the fried bread pieces in the syrup for 30 seconds, take them out and arrange in a plate.3. Prepare custard rabri: Bring milk to boil and let it thicken slightly. In a separate bowl, make a solution of 2 teaspoons of custard powder with cold milk. Slowly add this solution to the boiling milk and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Add sugar and cook for 4-5 minutes until the milk becomes creamy. 4. Final touch: Top the syrup-dipped bread pieces with hot or cooled custard. Decorate it with chopped dry fruits and silver work on top. Pro-Tips: Crispiness: Do not leave the bread in the syrup for too long, otherwise they will become soft and soggy. Health Tip: If you do not want to fry in ghee, you can also toast the bread in the oven or air fryer. Cold or hot: The taste of custard becomes better when eaten cold.
