Know more about ingredients:

Bread: Bread is the main ingredient of this recipe. Choose only white bread and cut the edges first and cut them into medium size pieces. Or cut them into triangles. Moreover, stay attentive while deep frying the bread. Or else roast the bread on the pan with some ghee. YOu can use oil also for best results use ghee. In addition to that don’t use the fresh bread because it absorbs more ghee or oil while deep frying them. Use 1 to 2 days old bread.

MIlk: Use the whole milk for tasty Double ka Meetha. While boil the milk stir the milk continuously, or else the milk will stick to the bottom. If you want to reduce the process use condensed milk or evaporated milk. The taste will be the same. Use thick bottomed pan for reducing the milk.

Saffron and dry fruits: Saffron adds wonderful flavor and color to this recipe. Use food color if the saffron is not available, but I personally prefer saffron. Nuts like almonds and Cashew nuts add crunchy ness to the dessert. Almonds are a good source of fiber, iron, and magnesium and help to reduce cholesterol. Cashew nuts good source of iron and good for hair and skin also.
