Ingredients

• 10 slices bread , crusts removed and bread cut into triangles diagonally
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying , or as needed
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1.5 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom , Optional
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups raisins
• 0.25 cups chopped almonds
• 0.25 cups chopped cashews

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. 2 Place bread triangles onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until lightly browned and dry, about 5 minutes per side.
3. 3 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry bread triangles, working in batches, until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove bread with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. 4 Whisk sugar, water, and cardamom together in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until syrup has reduced slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Dip bread triangles into syrup until fully soaked and transfer to a plate.
5. 5 Simmer milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Transfer soaked bread triangles to the simmering milk; cook over low heat until the milk is absorbed into the bread and the fat separates, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in raisins. Garnish with almonds and cashews.
