Bread Rasmalai

 Rasmalai is a very famous sweet in India. Made from curd cheese and malai it is a very rich dessert and a favorite of all. Bread rasmalai is the easy version of it which does not even require the two ingredients mentioned above. It is also time saving and the final product is no less to the original one so much so that my dad had to be told that it is "bread" and not the actual "rasmalai."

At my place we are not a fan of sweets, we don't like dense sweets (calorie issue, no, not that) so I did not add any cream or condensed milk or any other diary product to the recipe. Apart from the milk required it only has the regular granulated sugar and that too in a small amount but you can adjust it to your taste.

Ingredients:

1. Bread slices - 5 to 6 nos
2. Milk - 3cups
3. Sugar - 8 tsp
4. Saffron - 6 to 7 strands
5. Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
6. Pistachios - to garnish

Method:

• Boil milk in a vessel. 
• Reduce the flame and cook for 8 to 10 minutes while stirring in between.
• Remove about 2 tbsp of this hot milk to a small cup and soak the saffron strands in it crushing them slightly for flavor and color.
• To the milk in vessel, add sugar while mixing well. 
• Add cardamom powder followed by the saffron soaked milk. Cook for another two minutes and remove from flame.
• Using a cookie cutter or any glass or cup or lid cut the bread slices into round shapes. Each slice will give you two pieces the size may vary depending on the size of the bread slice.

• Arrange them in a bowl (serving dish, suggested). 
• When the milk has cooled down completely add it to the bread pieces just enough to soak them.
• Refrigerate the remaining milk and the soaked pieces for 45 mins.
• After 45 mins, add the remaining milk to the bread pieces preserving a little to add just before serving. 
• Garnish with pistachios.
• Refrigerate for another 3 hrs and serve chilled. Adding the preserved milk if required.
