Heat 2 cups of milk in a wide kadai. Boil till it reduces to 1.5 cups. Scrape the sides, collect the skin and add it back to the kadai while the milk boils. Stir at regular intervals to avoid overflowing.

After the milk is reduced, add sugar, chopped nuts, saffron threads and cardamom powder. Mix well. Boil till milk reduces to 1 cup. So total milk should be half the quantity of original measure. Now check the taste. Add more sugar if needed and mix well. When you pour the milk, it should be slightly thick. Remove from the flame and let it become warm. Milk becomes thicker when it cools down, so do not reduce it too much.

Now take the bread slices. Cut into round shape with a lid. Remove the sides. Dip the bread slice in thickened milk.

Pour some thick milk over the bread. Remove in a plate. Garnish with chopped nuts. Refrigerate for an hour and serve chilled.

Enjoy this easy, instant bread rasmalai as a quick dessert at home!
