Instructions

Step 1

Heat the milk in a saucepan until it just comes to a boil. Scoop out 1 cup of the milk and set it aside.

Step 2

Add the cardamom powder to the hot milk and whisk it in until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the custard powder into the reserved milk until you have a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Pour this custard mixture back into the saucepan with the hot milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped nuts, then take the pan off the heat and let the custard cool down.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cream and powdered sugar together. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread, then cut each slice into 4 pieces.

Step 7

In another bowl, combine milk and sugar, then quickly dip each piece of bread in this mixture for about a second on each side.

Step 8

Arrange the soaked bread pieces on a plate, pour the custard over them, and garnish with more nuts and a few strands of saffron. Serve and enjoy!
