Ingredients

  • 500ml milk

  • 395g can condensed milk

  • 2 large pinches saffron, soaked in 2 tbsp hot water

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ½ tsp ground cardamom

  • ½ tsp ground cloves

  • 5 eggs

  • 10 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into triangles

  • 125g ghee or butter

  • ½ cup pistachios, roughly chopped

  • ½ cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped

  • vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Method

  1. 1. Combine the milk, condensed milk, spices and eggs and mix well. 

    2. Melt a quarter of the ghee in a large frying pan and fry a quarter of the bread triangles until lightly brown. Transfer to a deep baking dish large enough to hold all the bread, laying it with the triangles pointing in the same direction. Repeat for the remaining ghee and bread. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and refrigerate overnight. 

    3. Heat your oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional) and bake for about 30 minutes, until browned on top and set in the centre. Remove from the oven, scatter with the nuts and serve warm with vanilla ice-cream.
